Lütt-Witt Moor, northern Germany

A bog is a wetland type that accumulates acidic peat, a deposit of dead plant material. Bogs are widely distributed in cold, temperate climates, mostly in the Northern Hemisphere. Shown here is Lütt-Witt Moor, a bog in Henstedt-Ulzburg, Germany, in late August 2005.
