2017 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year Contest, Part II (15 photos)

National Geographic Magazine’s annual photo competition is still open, with the deadline for submissions coming up on November 17. The Grand Prize Winner will receive $7,500, publication in National Geographic Magazine and a feature on National Geographic’s Instagram account. Contest runners have allowed me to choose a few more of this year’s contest entries for display here. The captions below were written by the individual photographers, and lightly edited for style.

“Hidden Gates.” An amazing floating iceberg with a beautiful arch, seen while sailing in western Greenland. One of the best days spent in the Arctic, with no wind and no clouds, almost still water allowed us to see great reflections.
