From: National Geographic







A wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans) contracts its wings during a mating ritual on South Georgia Island, Antarctica. This arduous traveler has one of the greatest known wingspans of any bird, measuring up to 11.5 feet (3.5 meters), and has been recorded flying 500 miles (805 kilometers) in a single day.

Honestly, Katyzzz. if you didn't mention that it's the wings of albatross, I'll probably think it's snowy white sand on the beach...

This was a tough one, Wilson, fascinating though.
