A view of two islands known as Na Mokulua, off the coast of Oahu, Hawaii. Na Mokulua literally means "the two islands", but they are most often known as "The Moks". The white sands of Lankai Beach can be seen in the foreground, which is near the city of Kailua. The islands are state bird sanctuaries and very popular with kayakers, who often visit the larger Moku Nui island. The smaller Moku Iki island is off limits.

oceanA beautiful sunrise can be seen off the coast of Cozumel, Mexico. The 300 square mile island is located in the Caribbean Sea just off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula and about 25 miles south of Cancun. Cozumel is generally flat, with a maximum elevation of about 50 feet. The majority of income for the island comes from fishing, diving, and tourism as cruise ships can be seen docking almost daily. While food and supplies need to be shipped to the island, over 100 restaurants, two universities, and a saltwater treatment plant can be found directly on the island.
