This image shows climber Remi McMurtry as he reached the top of the 4,744-foot high volcano Snæfellsjökull in Iceland.

This picture was captured by a forest service worker, and the glow was the product of the tree’s core lighting up in flames. This was during the North Carolina wildfires in 2016, which saw widespread devastation across the region

This is Tianzi Mountain in China, and James Cameron used its one-of-a-kind landscape as inspiration for the mythical land of Pandora in the movie Avatar.

This surreal image depicts a man sitting on a ledge in Dean’s Blue Hole, which is the second-deepest blue hole in the world.

The Danakil Depression in Ethiopia is found in the Horn of Africa, and it sits at the junction of three tectonic plates, which has produced a long history of volcanic activity and geological shifts.

Georges Rousse is a renowned artist who creates architectural illusions inside old abandoned buildings.

German artist Markus Reugels uses colored water to create different shapes and forms, such as this bubble, which he photographed using a high-speed camera to capture the millisecond in which a splash occurred inside.

Real sunset in the mountains of Japan.

Sausalito, California, where the effect of the nighttime haze and the rolling mists over the hills create this eerie effect across the landscape.

Just a regular-sized child, and he’s climbing into an old rotten tree stump, photographed by his dad at just the right angle.

This mesmerizing image is not the work of a photo editing expert – it’s a real place, and no image editing was used in the making of this photo. This is the Ouse Valley Viaduct, which carries the London-Brighton Railway Line over the River Ouse in Sussex. The structure, originally built in 1839, is considered as “probably the most elegant viaduct in Britain” – and it’s easy to see why. The structure features 37 identical arches in a straight line, its vertical voids in the center creating this infinity effect.

These abandoned salt mines lie 650 feet below the earth, near the city of Yekaterinburg, Russia. This wild psychedelic landscape is the result of the mineral carnallite, which can be yellow, white, red or blue.

This magical alleyway might seem eerily familiar if you’re a big Game of Thrones fan. That’s because this is Dubrovnik, Croatia – which was the filming location of most of the scenes from King’s Landing.

This is an unretouched photo of a rare, magnificent blue iceberg, which was shot from a ship near Antarctica’s South Sandwich Islands.

This creature is actually a leopard seal, also known as a sea leopard, the second largest species of seal in the Antarctic.

This image is something that boggles the mind. Captured by a drone hovering over a cloverleaf intersection in an unknown location, the effect is rather mind-bending.

This is the work of woodpeckers, who make rows of holes as they systematically search for insects in the trees.

Electromagnetic radiation that forms in areas around power lines, which also makes hair stand on end and gives the air an ozone-like scent.

The Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This incredible library, which was established in 1887, has amassed the largest collection of Portuguese literature outside of Portugal, and today contains nearly 400,000 volumes.

An illusion: this building in Singapore, called The Gateway and designed by renowned architect I. M. Pei, is in the shape of a triangle. The mind-boggling effect of the building being flat occurs when you take a picture of the structure from a specific angle.

Eggs, which have been boiled in the sulfurous hot springs of Owakudani (“The Great Boiling Valley”) in Hakone, Japan where a volcano erupted 3000 years ago and left the hot spring-filled crater behind. Local tradition holds that for each black egg – or kuro-tamago – you eat, seven years are added onto your life.

Northern Lights in Iceland.

Lilypad stems underwater, with a giant school of tadpoles swimming by.

This is an image from the Burning Man festival, an event that happens every year in Black Rock, Nevada.

This is an incredible moment where an erupting volcano in Chile was engulfed in what seems like bolts of lightning. It looks like some pretty heavy-duty special effects, but it turns out that it’s just mother nature creating awesome scenes captured by talented photographers.

These beautiful black rex rabbits look as if they are white rabbits that have been photographed and this is the negative of the film. Their special coloring is a result of breeding which occurred when, in 1919, a Catholic priest received a genetically mutated rabbit and decided to try and create a new breed.

These are greenhouses protecting strawberries in Turkey, and the woman is harvesting them.

This lagoon is located near Ywan Ngan in Shan State, Myanmar, and the deep blue color is caused by high levels of copper sulfate in the water. So while it looks inviting to jump right in, doing so could have some unhealthy consequences.

This is a real house, on the shore of Lake Erie, which was completely encased by snow, ice, and frost during a blizzard.

This incredible sight is a snail’s shell, which has been taken over by agate, which naturally grew into the spiral shape and “evicted” the shell’s previous inhabitant.

A milky fog blanketing the city of Sophia, Bulgaria, late at night.

This is a limacina, or sea butterfly, whose shell was exposed to carbon dioxide and dissolved over a period of 45 days in water.
