‘Skull Smoking’ by Daniel Vine Garcia. When I visited the Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland I never thought that I would get the best image while the volcano was dying out, at that time the volcano was intermittent and every 10-12 hours of eruption it would die out, in one of those times I saw a skull, a skull smoking.

‘The Breach’ by David Fairs. After many attempts to find these beautiful creatures during the whale migration, including a failed whale-watching tour, I was gifted an experience I will never forget. I have shot many whale breaches before and I even shot another 14 breaches this day and have never been able to time the shot this perfectly. For me, this shot is as rare as it gets and is a once-in-a-lifetime photograph.

‘Austfonna Ice Cap’ by Thomas Vijayan. I have visited this place several times before, but last year it was disheartening to witness the sea ice melting as early as June. Our ship was able to navigate through the melted ice and reach the ice cap. However, even the ice cap had begun melting earlier than usual last year, which was a concerning observation.

‘Exodus – Dead Sea Marathon’ by Oren Alon. The picture shows the start of the Dead Sea Marathon, as the runners are heading into the misty horizon. It gives the illusion that they will be running across the sea, almost reminiscent of the biblical story of Exodus from Egypt.

‘Lifeline’ by Armand Sarlangue. This 360 degrees panorama photo captures the Skaftafell glacier, the mountain range around it, and water leaking from the glacier to the ocean. This image represents how water is the element most essential to life.

‘Skýjasnúningur / Cloud Inversion’ by Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove. On this evening, the crater kept spewing out lava in amounts I’d never seen before. A few hours after I arrived, the huge eruptions stopped and left the crater coated in fresh lava. At the same time, fog started engulfing the area which made for this surreal photograph.

‘Sorry Sight’ by Lalith Ekanayake. This picture shows wild elephants searching for food in a garbage dump near the forest in an eastern province of Sri Lanka. It is disheartening to witness these majestic creatures resorting to such destructive and unhealthy habits.

‘Human chain’ by Xinqia Zheng. On August 25, 2022, the residents of Chongqing, China, set aside their daily tasks to assist in extinguishing the Jinyun Mountain fire, a blaze that raged on for several days. Some of them formed human chains along the mountain slopes, transporting water, food, fire extinguishers, and other essential supplies to combat the flames.

‘Paving the Way’ by Joanna Steidle. This ariel shot shows a shark gliding through a dense school of menhaden fish. It was a remarkable privilege to witness this captivating interaction between these two species. The photo was captured just off the coast of Southampton, NY, USA, during the summer of 2022.

‘Amigos’ by Joseph Cheires. In Baja California Sur in Mexico, gray whales come to interact with people as if they were friends (in Spanish “Amigos”) and the experience of sharing both worlds from a boat is unforgettable.

‘Mammatus On Show’ by Jim Picôt. This shot captures the dramatic Mammmatus Clouds over Toowoon Bay and Blue Bay in New South Wales, Australia. They are associated with storms and can form and dissipate very quickly. I was very happy to capture this memorable moment in time.
