We've got some WotLK screenies for you, including some areas of note from around the Northrend continent including scenery from Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra and Grizzly Hills. We'll keep this short and sweet so you can get on with the ogling.

They really have some amazing artists at blizzard, it looks great despite the old engine.

It might just be me, but Valgarde reminds me of Allerian Stronghold in Terokkar Forest, the whole look of it. Spread out, but still a bit cramped.

I'm loving the flame effects, those really stood out for me when I watched the trailer.

2 things:
1. They're finally using the White Dragon skin that has been in the game so long. I wonder what that's all about - is it a new, previously-unheard-of dragonflight, or are they part of the blue flight, or what?
2. There's the shoreline where Arthas destroyed all his expedition's boats so they couldn't turn back!

I agree, I was astonished when I saw the flame effects. You kind of get the feeling that Blizzard is willing to push their graphics engine a bit harder and start to open up what it's capable of. Items which use extensive lighting have been in the game since launch but have always been limited (certain wands and lanterns show off dynamic lighting effects), yet we've seen what the lighting system is actually capable of.
It seems that it's something Blizzard can keep pushing as the average computers of their playerbase improve.
