Alpes del Sur, Nueva Zelanda, de Michael Melford National Geographic
Nevados y envueltos en nubes, los Alpes del Sur crean una impresionante vista en Nueva Zelanda. Un tumulto de picos que se ejecutan como una columna irregular a través de la isla del sur. Los Alpes del Sur toman su nombre del capitán James Cook, que fue quien primero vio la cadena en 1770.

Parte inferior de un iceberg de la Antártida, de Alex Cornell
En un viaje en diciembre con su familia, Alex Cornell tomó esta fotografía desde una Zodiac cuando se acercaban al iceberg. “Vimos miles de icebergs, por supuesto, pero sólo uno revelado su magnífica inferior: el 90 por ciento por debajo de la superficie sobre la que tanto se habla”, dice. “Los icebergs son normalmente blancos, como se ve en las fotografías. Pero éste se había dado la vuelta recientemente y tenía este color verde alienígena. Parecía mucho más una nave estacionada que un iceberg flotando.”
Coyote Buttes, Arizona, de Stephen Matera
Un excursionista hace su camino a través de un remolino de rayas de las dunas fosilizadas en las motas del coyote en el extremo norte de Arizona. Para transitar esta zona sólo se admiten 20 personas al día.

Night Fishermen, Japan, by The Asahi Shimbun/Getty Images
Fishermen wait for glass eels to be drawn to the bright lights they’re shining on Japan’s Yoshino River. When the eels are close, the fishermen scoop them up. This type of traditional fishing is best done on the darkest nights.
Yellowstone National Park, by Jeff Vanuga, Corbis
Frost paints Yellowstone’s Lower Geyser Basin white early one January morning. The world’s first national park doesn’t shut down during the long winter—cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are popular snowy activities.
Lantern Festival, China, by Yang Shiyao, Xinhua/eyevine/Redux
An artist spins molten iron at a brick wall in the practice of Da Shuhua, or “tree flower.” The local tradition takes place during the Lantern Festival in China’s Hebei Province.

Skaters on Lake Baikal, Russia, by Evgeny Dubinchuk

Southern Alps, New Zealand, by Michael Melford, National Geographic
Snowcapped and shrouded in clouds, the Southern Alps create a stunning vista in New Zealand. A tumult of peaks that run like a jagged spine through the South Island, the Southern Alps got their name from Capt. James Cook, who first spied the chain in 1770.
La Réunion National Park, by Spani Arnaud, Hemis/Corbis
Under a stormy sky, hikers round a small lake in La Réunion National Park, located on the French island of Réunion in the southwest Indian Ocean.
Underside of an Antarctica Iceberg, by Alex Cornell
Alex Cornell, traveling in December with his family, was in a Zodiac boat when they neared the iceberg. “We saw thousands of icebergs, of course, but only one revealed its gorgeous underside—the 90 percent below the surface you hear so much about,” he says. “Icebergs are typically white, like you see in pictures. This one had recently flipped over and had this arresting alien green color to it. It looked a lot more like a parked spacecraft than a floating iceberg.”
Coyote Buttes, Arizona, by Stephen Matera
A hiker makes his way through the Wave, a swirl of striped, fossilized dunes in the Coyote Buttes of Arizona’s far north. The Bureau of Land Management admits only 20 people a day to the Wave, so visitors are left nearly alone in the geological wilderness.
Table Mountain, South Africa, by Bettina Schwarz, National Geographic Your Shot
Blue-green waves sweep out to cloud-shrouded Table Mountain, the monolith that overlooks Cape Town at the southernmost tip of Africa. With rapid changes in the weather, the mountaintop is often covered by clouds—creating an effect known as the “tablecloth.”
