Ape Cave lava tube in Washington State is the longest known lava tube (at about 3.9 kilometers) in the conterminous United States, but there aren't any known lava tubes longer than about 2.4km within the image area. (A), (B) and (D) are true: The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a widespread breeder within the region in all but desert habitats. US astronauts trained in 1964 amidst the 'moonscape' along the Cascade Lakes Highway near Lava Butte, in preparation for the Apollo missions to the moon. Although the Lava Butte region is located within the upper left quadrant of the image, it is positioned toward the lower right within this quadrant, thus placing it somewhat centrally within the image. Since D is somewhat contestable, respondents who noted this particular ambiguity in their answer were marked correct. Photo Credit: NASA/GSFC/LaRC/JPL, MISR Team [0003-0612-3114-5339] by 0003
