According to the United States Geological Survey, there are over 160 active and potentially active volcanoes in the U.S., most of which are in Alaska, where eruptions occur yearly. The rest can be found throughout the American West and in Hawaii. K\u012blauea, in Hawaii, is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and is seen by millions of tourists each year. If you plan on visiting, take advantage of the daily ranger-led hikes, check the underground cavernous lava tubes and caverns, and explore the old, dried-up lava flows and lava lakes that emit a reddish-orange glow at night. This truly one-of-a-kind experience is the second most travel-worthy natural phenomenon in the U.S. according to our research.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"wous-map-overlay-wrapper\">\n\n              <div class=\"wous-bottom-slider-wrapper\">\n                <ul class=\"wous-bottom-slider\">\n                                      <li data-coordinates=\"volcanoes-1\" data-name=\"Makushin Volcano, Alaska\">\n                      <picture class=\"wous-location-image\">\n                        <source media=\"(min-width: 769px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/ra7-wonders-of-the-us\/images\/location-images\/01-makushin-volcano-alaska-large.jpg\">\n                        <source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/ra7-wonders-of-the-us\/images\/location-images\/01-makushin-volcano-alaska-small.jpg\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/ra7-wonders-of-the-us\/images\/location-images\/01-makushin-volcano-alaska-small.jpg\" alt=\"Makushin Volcano, Alaska\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 450px;

A moonbow, also known as a lunar rainbow, is a rarer version of this optical phenomenon that can be seen when the sun goes down. This marvelous wonder forms when the light from the Moon is refracted through water droplets in the air. For a moonbow to appear, the Moon must be in or near its brightest phase (full), water droplets must be present in the part of the sky opposite the Moon, and the Moon must be low in the sky\u2014no more than 42 degrees above the horizon\u2014so the night sky is very dark. The lower the Moon, the bigger the moonbow! You could see these moonbows anywhere from New York to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/car-rental\/usa\/california\/\">California<\/a> to Hawaii. <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"wous-map-overlay-wrapper\">\n\n              <div class=\"wous-bottom-slider-wrapper\">\n                <ul class=\"wous-bottom-slider\">\n                                      <li data-coordinates=\"moonbows-1\" data-name=\"Niagara Falls, New York\">\n                      <picture class=\"wous-location-image\">\n                        <source media=\"(min-width: 769px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/ra7-wonders-of-the-us\/images\/location-images\/01-niagara-falls-new-york-large.jpg\">\n                        <source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/ra7-wonders-of-the-us\/images\/location-images\/01-niagara-falls-new-york-small.jpg\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/ra7-wonders-of-the-us\/images\/location-images\/01-niagara-falls-new-york-small.jpg\" alt=\"Niagara Falls, New York\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 450px;

When temperatures drop and the weather becomes chillier, the rushing waters freeze, transforming these beautiful waterfalls into magnificent ice sculptures that are a photographer's dream.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"wous-map-overlay-wrapper\">\n\n              <div class=\"wous-bottom-slider-wrapper\">\n                <ul class=\"wous-bottom-slider\">\n                                      <li data-coordinates=\"ice-waterfalls-1\" data-name=\"Yosemite Falls, California\">\n                      <picture class=\"wous-location-image\">\n                        <source media=\"(min-width: 769px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/ra7-wonders-of-the-us\/images\/location-images\/01-yosemite-falls-california-large.jpg\">\n                        <source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/ra7-wonders-of-the-us\/images\/location-images\/01-yosemite-falls-california-small.jpg\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/ra7-wonders-of-the-us\/images\/location-images\/01-yosemite-falls-california-small.jpg\" alt=\"Yosemite Falls, California\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 450px;
