A New Aerial Photography Contest Takes a Bird’s-Eye View of Life Around the World
From the fiery explosion of Iceland’s Litli-Hrútur volcano to a football field nested on a small Arctic island, the winning images of the International Aerial Photographer of the Year contest transport viewers across the globe, offering perspectives typically reserved for air travelers and birds.
This year marks the inaugural competition, which garnered 1,549 entries. Many shots capture fleeting moments, such as a highway piercing through coastal fog or a fever of cownose rays greeting an undulating school of menhaden bait fish. The contest selected 101 winning photos overall, which you can peruse on its website.
