Grand Falls, Arizona, also known as Chocolate Falls,

Grand Falls, Arizona, also known as Chocolate Falls, is a dramatic waterfall on the Little Colorado River, famous for its muddy, chocolate-colored waters. Located on the Navajo Nation, the falls are especially powerful after seasonal rains or snowmelt. Towering over 180 feet, Grand Falls cascades across rugged desert terrain, creating a spectacular and unique natural sight in northern Arizona, far from the crowds of more famous waterfalls.

The Engagement between USS Bonhomme Richard and HMS Serapis off Flamborough Head, 23 September 1779 by Richard Willis

Today I learned about the inaccessible island rail, which is the smallest extant flightless bird on the planet. It is also the world’s most remote. The island is only 12 kilometers, or 5 miles long.

So fascinating.
