The Great Outdoors
June is here and with it comes warm weather and opportunities to spend more time in the great outdoors. This month we are featuring photographs in our collection that depict physicists engaging in a multitude of outdoor activities. Whether it’s soaring over mountains near CERN, hiking the Grand Canyon, or doing handstands on the beach, we hope these images inspire others to take advantage of the great outdoors.
