No one has been able to capture this 3,200-year-old tree in one image before – until now

California’s redwood forests are known for their gigantic trees, but one magnificent tree in particular really stands out.
On the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains stands the world’s third largest tree in terms of volume.
Locals call it “The President. ”
“The President” is far from being the world’s tallest tree, but still, it measures 247 feet (75 m) tall.
In terms of volume, however, the tree is the world’s third largest at 45,000 cubic feet (1,278 cubic meters), or the size of about 127,800 milk cartons.
But what’s perhaps its most impressive stat is the tree’s age.
“The President” is estimated to be about 3,200 years old.
