"'Big Drop Romance' was taken in Washington of my brother and his ?ancé. She was terri?ed of the idea of hanging over the edge but decided to follow through with it. I shot this from above them, reaching out with a 14mm lens to capture as much of the moment as I could." — @isaacgautschiphotography

This selfie was taken at 6 a.m. at Yosemite National Park. "I left my camera down below on continuous self timer, as I sat there waiting for the sun to come up.

"A city like New York has an in?nite number of perspectives, but if you want to ?nd something truly unique, it helps to take some risks. Hanging from a harness ... 2,000 feet above Times Square, the massive infrastructure of New York City looks like a densely packed circuit board.

"It’s actually in New Zealand that people can see the clearest skies at night, so one day I decided to drive up to Cardrona Alpine Resort, 30 minutes away from Wanaka. I explored the slopes by foot, observing the stars with the resort’s chair lifts as a background—an extreme and memorable moment for sure." — @lebackpacker

This image was taken at Monument Valley in San Juan, Utah. "Even after seeing hundreds of photos of this place, they still couldn't convey the thrill of seeing the sun rise on these giant pillars of rock ... When the sun broke over the horizon, I sat for a moment on the edge of the cliff, feeling small and yet a part of the landscape I was beholding." — @ravivora

This photo was taken at Alberta's Abraham Lake, where methane from decaying plant life rises to the surface and becomes trapped under ice, resulting in these bubbles. "There's usually a seven-minute window every year to photograph them in the best conditions before snow or warm temperatures affect the lake. I've waited five years to photograph them in these conditions, trying and failing every year up until this year." — @calsnape
