From the fiery explosion of Iceland\u2019s Litli-Hr\u00fatur\u00a0volcano<\/a> to a football field nested on a small Arctic island, the winning images of the International Aerial Photographer of the Year<\/a> contest transport viewers across the globe, offering perspectives typically reserved for air travelers and birds.<\/p>\n

This year marks the inaugural competition, which garnered 1,549 entries. Many shots capture fleeting moments, such as a highway piercing through coastal fog or a fever of cownose rays greeting an undulating school of menhaden bait fish. The contest selected 101 winning photos overall, which you can peruse on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
