I was part of an adventure group going towards Nafakhum, one of the many beautiful waterfalls situated in Bandarban, Bangladesh. Due to heavy current, we had to leave the boat and walk by the shores quite a few times. During one of those times, three of the most adventurous among us Ratul, Apu, and Ifty [...]

This arduous ascent of one of Chile’s most active volcanoes challenges the extremes of endurance for both young and old. Climbing in knee to waist-deep snow up to the 2,847mt summit, reveals a stark backdrop of fresh white snow against a royal blue horizon.

Photo of the Day | February 12 | Harding Ice Field, by Karin Eibenberger

The Harding Ice Field trail can be hiked within a day (7 hours) and the trail leads along Exit Glacier to the so-called Harding Ice Field near Seward, Alaska, in the Kenai Fjords National Park. The hike is quite strenuous, but the views over the huge ice field are awarding. Additionally, there is a great [...]

Photo of the Day | January 01 | Cochamó Hiker Silhouette, by Cameron Cope

Jan 01, 2012 1 Comment by

I took this photograph of my friend Romain Martin as we hiked into the Cochamó Valley in southern Chile. No car has ever penetrated this valley, no road has ever been built and the forests have never been felled. The pure sapphire Cochamó river is flanked on all sides by thousands of metres of hulking [...]

Photo of the Day | December 29 | Climbing Hoverla, by Enrique Aviles

Dec 29, 2011 2 Comments by

This photo was taken while climbing Hoverla mountain in Ukraine. Not used to this type of weather and without the proper protection (snow came early), my fingers almost froze and I came close to hypothermia. With help from the guide, I recovered and climbed it all the way to the top, making of this a [...]

A ice climber takes advantage of the snow melt along the cliffs of Turnagain Arm to practice his craft. Turnagain Arm is one of the most scenic roadways in the United States. Leaving Anchorage and heading south, you can see many stunning mountain and inlet views. You may also see ice climbers or wind surfers [...]

Photo of the Day | December 11 | Little Waterloo Bay, by Cameron Cope

I took this self portrait panorama of myself hiking in one of Australia’s most amazing national parks, Wilsons Promontory. It simply can’t be beaten for the amount of phenomenal beaches in what is a relatively small area occupying the southernmost tip of mainland Australia. What makes it even more awesome is that many of those [...]

Photo of the Day | December 06 | Bogong Horseback Adventure, by Cameron Cope

Dec 06, 2011 No Comments by

I took this photograph while on a 5-day horse trek in Australia’s mountainous south-east. Our route followed old gold mining and cattle grazing trails through some of the state of Victoria’s most spectacular alpine landscapes. We rode through densely forested mountain valleys, up steep ridgelines, across wide open highplains and made a traverse of Mount [...]

Photo of the Day | December 02 | Thredbo Big Air, by Cameron Cope

Dec 02, 2011 No Comments by

I captured this image while shooting the 2010 Thredbo Big Air Competition at Thredbo Ski Resort in Australia. The snowboarders and skiers hurled themselves off a 50ft jump trying to pull off their maddest tricks for a panel of judges perched atop the cabin of a snow groomer. For my untrained eye the aerialists were [...]

Photo of the Day | October 09 | Camel Since 1913, by Ali Berrada

Oct 09, 2011 No Comments by

After 40 minutes of walk on a camel, I took this picture in the middle of nowhere. It was in Merzouga, a desert place in Morocco, 18 km from Algeria. An empty but beautiful place, where the magic is still real.
