Below are photos showing stunning moments of nature around the world captured by photographers.
The photograph “Treasure on Ice” by author Marek Jackowski, taken in Svalbard, Norway, shows a polar bear lying on an ice floe. As the disappearance of ice sheets due to climate change becomes increasingly evident, polar bears have lost their habitat. In the photo above, when night came, this polar bear was lucky enough to find a small patch of ice to spend the night.
Photographer Ayala Fishaimer’s photograph, “Difficult Negotiations,” taken in the Judean Hills of Israel, shows an Arabian red fox seemingly listening to a shrew’s plea for its life.
The European wildcat (also known as Felis silvestris silvestris) is very rare and difficult to photograph. After observing the area for several months, photographer Vladimir Cech Jr. captured this moment in the Czech Republic.
“Hope from the burned forest” is the message in author Jo-Anne Mcarthur’s photograph taken in Mallacoota, Australia. Nearly 3 billion animals died or had to leave their habitat during the Australian bushfires in 2019 and 2020. This kangaroo and its babies were the lucky animals that survived and escaped the burned area.
The spirit bear, also known as the Kermode bear, is a special subspecies of the North American black bear. While most Kermode bears are black, there are a few hundred completely white individuals. This bear known as “Boss” shakes his head to dry his fur after diving into the river to catch salmon. This stunning photo was taken by photographer Michelle Valberg in the Great Bear Forest in Canada.
Author Sarang Naik’s “Goblet of Fire” photograph taken in Toplepada, India, shows a unique moment in which a fungus spreads spores under a light.
“Orcas under the sun of the Arctic Ocean” is the name of the impressive photograph taken by photographer Andy Schmid in Skjervøy, Norway. This “mother” of an orca, curious but always willing to protect her calf, let the photographer swim near her for almost an hour to take photographs.
Unique photo titled “Flock of Barracudas” by author Yung-Sen Wu taken in Koror, Palau.
The photograph titled “Facing Reality” by photographer Amos Nachoum shows a different perspective of the natural world. A baby penguin jumped into the lagoon to play and was threatened by a lurking leopard seal.
The photograph shows the surreal beauty of water perfectly recreated under the lens of photographer Kazuaki Koseki taken in Inawashiro, Japan.
The photo “Tope walker” by photographer Nicolas Reusens was taken in Papallacta, Ecuador. It took this photographer 6 days to capture the moment a hummingbird balanced on another hummingbird’s beak, something this photographer had never seen before in 10 years of hummingbird watching.
Photographer Angel Fitor’s unusual perspective captured a giant barrel jellyfish in the Mar Menor, Spain.
Author Fran Rubia’s “Another Planet” photograph taken in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve in Iceland shows what the volcanoes look like from above on a cloudy day in June, when the midnight sun is characteristic of the polar regions.
The photograph “Flamingos Flying Over Lake Magadi” by photographer Yang Jiao was taken in Magadi, Kenya, from an aerial perspective.
The surreal moment was captured by author Anette Mossbacher at Ruacana Falls, Namibia, in the photograph titled “Tree of Life”./.
