"At least 1,500 years old, a 300-foot titan in California's Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park has the most complex crown scientists have mapped. This photo, taken by Michael Nichols, is a mosaic composed of 84 images [...made using three cameras, robo-dolly, gyro-stabilizer, plus plenty of patience...] This tree, at 301 feet, isn't even close to the world's tallest, at 379.1, but according to [Humboldt State University Professor of Botany, Stephen] Sillett, who is waiting for [Wildlife Conservation Society biologist and National Geographic Society explorer-in-residence Mike] Fay at an opening in the canopy right at the very top, it is "super juicy" -- loaded with canopy soils and biodiversity. From there the two men peer out upon a nearly unbroken expanse of huge redwoods, with one clear-cut barely visible to the south."
