One of a series of aerial shots taken from a helicopter over the fabulous river deltas in South Iceland. This one depicts the end of the journey for one river as it winds its way to the ocean. The brilliant colors are a result of mineral deposits picked up by the glacial waters. We were lucky to shoot on a gorgeously sunny day which really brought out the colors.Location: South Iceland

First Light – Two Medicine Lake

Two Medicine Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana – We drove early morning from St. Mary’s Lodge to see the sunrise at Two Medicine lake in Glacier National Park. There were no clouds but the lake water was so calm, it created perfect reflection of the red light kissing the Sinopah Mountain. As there was no wind in the morning, the colorful rocks in the foreground were visible. Location: Two Medicine Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana

Fire on the ROCKS!

Rain in the Desert

Photo and caption by Stefan Forster / National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest

Over the last 7 years I had one aim – photograph rain in the driest desert of Africa. In 2015 finally I found the rain. In the breathtaking scenery of the Namibrand-Park right at the border of the Namib Naukluft Nationalpark. An enormous thunderstorm came in and the setting sun created a wonderful rainbow. The challenge was, to not have my shadow in the picture.

On the Top of the World

Photo and caption by Boukhechina Malik / National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest

The shot is the result of a magical, powerful instant seen from the top of Sonchaux (CH), a day when the clouds were particularly low. I though I was like immersed in a fairytale, out of every human scale.

Horse Foal with Rim Light

Photo and caption by Ryan Bell / National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest

In the Pavlodar region of northeast Kazakhstan, horsemen drive their herd to a corral where they’ll spend the night. Kazakhs must guard their animals at all times against horse thieves (a time-honored tradition in Kazakshtan) and predators like the steppe wolf. Pastoralists have lived in this region of Kazakhstan for at least 5,000 years. Archeologists have discovered the oldest-known remains of a domesticated horse at a sight located about 100 miles from where I took this picture. Location: Pavlodar, Pavlodar, Kazakhstan
