    "The photo above showing a brilliant, electric green aurora was captured in Churchill, Manitoba in mid February 2010. Auroras occur when energetic particles streaming out from the Sun are guided along the Earth’s magnetic field lines toward both the north and south magnetic poles. If oxygen molecules get in their way, green light is emitted. Though Churchill is more than 1,700 mi (2,735 km) from the North Pole, it’s only approximately 1,200 mi (1,930 km) from the geomagnetic north pole. Thus, there are more opportunities to view auroras here than from locations in northern Eurasia that are actually closer to the North Pole."

    "The marshy, subtropical Everglades park has 36 threatened or protected species living in it, including the Florida panther, West Indian manatee and American crocodile. The park was created to protect the fragile wetlands that were vanishing as the area was drained for agricultural and residential purposes."
