Explore Live Cams in the United States

The United States covers about 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million km²) across North America, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, plus Alaska and the volcanic islands of Hawaii. Its landscapes range from Arctic tundra and snowy Rocky Mountain peaks to vast prairies, red rock deserts, swamps, rainforests and thousands of miles of coastline.

Its most famous natural landmark is the Grand Canyon, carved by the Colorado River more than a mile (1.6 km) deep into Arizona's layered rock. The highest peak is Denali in Alaska at 20,310 feet (6,190 m), the tallest mountain in North America. The bald eagle is the national bird, and the American bison is the national mammal.

Brown bears catch salmon at Brooks Falls in Alaska, bison and wolves roam Yellowstone, and manatees and alligators live in the Everglades. Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, the Everglades and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park are among more than 25 UNESCO World Heritage Sites across the country.

Did You Know? Yellowstone, created in 1872, was the first national park in the world, and today the United States protects more than 60 national parks.
