US National Park Service in partnership with Google offers 360-degree overview of the country's five national parksso that everyone can appreciate the wild beauty of the American landscape.

1. Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska (pictured above) covers more than 271 thousand hectares and has 38 glaciers, each of which is located on the Harding ice field - an ice sheet of 181 thousand hectares. Melted ice streams create a natural ecosystem for wildflowers and forests, where visitors can walk in the warm summer months.

2. In Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park There are two active volcanoes: Kilauea and Mauna Loa, which are still spewing molten lava. In the park you can walk along hiking trails and pass through a lava tube.

3. Carlsbad Caves National Park in the Chihuahuan Desert (New Mexico) is interesting because on its territory there are more than 119 caves, and two objects of the park are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Large and small caves with stalactites and stalagmites were formed as a result of sulfuric acid entering limestone.

4. Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah - this is not one giant canyon, but many different indentations and cupped formations along a large plateau. The largest is the Bryce Amphitheater, which is dotted with hoodoos - spiers of an erosive breed, which have mythological significance for local Indian tribes.

5. Remote Dry Tortugas National Park (Florida) is located in the ocean on an area of ​​26 thousand hectares, which includes seven islands, such as Bush Key. The park can only be reached by boat or seaplane. Visitors are greeted by Fort Jefferson built in the XNUMXth century. In the park you can enjoy natural beauties, including coral reefs and islands abundant in marine and animal worlds.
