Beyond Everest: 9 peaks to summit in a lifetime

Appenzell, Switzerland. "A breathtaking mountain view of Switzerland's Alpine range."

Vestrahorn, Iceland. "This image is the newest addition to my Dronie (Drone Selfie) series. We visited Vestrahorn last year, but I couldn't fly my drone due to bad weather. I knew I had to come back again to this place to get an aerial perspective of this beautiful landscape. We visited again this year in March and luckily the weather cooperated as well. With the help of a drone, I tried get a unique perspective of this beautiful landscape. We are already planning our next trip as we are in love with Iceland."

Catalina Poplicean: "The Stellisee Lake in Switzerland is one of the most beautiful places from where you can admire the Matterhorn peak and its reflection. Being there at sunrise after a 4-hour trek made the moment truly special."

Marco Tagliarino: "Hiking in one of the most beautiful landscape of the world near the edge of Bromo Caldera, Java, Indonesia."

Han Qi Chen: "Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway: The only place on earth where you can view the Aurora Borealis during the daytime. During the winter season, there is theoretically no daylight. This photo was taken at 1pm. With a long exposure, this shot is able to capture both the faint aurora lights and the light refracted from below the horizon."

Mount Fuji, Japan in a "Sea of cloud that looks like a wave."

"In February in Yamagata, Japan, the strong winds and humidity produced ice monsters. The dusk where the clearance spread, the ice monsters lined up on the slope of the snowy mountain to bask in the sunset, shining beautifully, like the sunny day it was."

"For long time I've been dreaming of visiting and taking pictures of this amazing place: Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Italy. Last summer I had the opportunity to do it! It was better than in my dreams! Life is awesome! These mountains are awesome and colossal, massive, huge, and I feel very small!"

"Henningsvær is a fishing village located on several small islands off the southern coast of Austvågøya in Norway's Lofoten archipelago."

Cuernos Del Paine, Chile. "Stay close to anything that makes you glad you're alive. This was taken in 2017 during a 3 month trip in Patagonia with my girlfriend. We have been traveling the world for the past 5 years and there is nothing better than share this moment with someone you love."

"The first beam of sunlight is shining on St. John's Peak, with a sea of clouds in the background. Gua Paka, Sabah, Malaysia."

"Sunwapta Falls is a stunning place in the middle of the Canadian Rockies in Jasper National Park, Canada."

Alto Adige, Trentino, Italy. "I spent the last five years travelling around the world, but after the first time visiting this place, I kept going back. What I love about going back to a place I know is to see how the landscape and light direction are changing according to the season."

Aurland, Norway: "We woke early in the morning to visit the fjord and take photos of the dawn lights on the mountains and the reflections of the mountain on the clear water."

"Hiking in South Tyrol is a one of a kind experience. It was the first time I was walking so close to the edge of a mountain, almost surrounded by clouds. Nature's power in these situations reminds us that we're only guests on this planet."

"Beautiful sunrise over turquoise waters of the Moraine Lake with red snow-covered peaks above it in Canadian Rockies, Banff National Park, Canada. I travel a lot around the world and couldn't think of seeing something that would strike my imagination. Moraine Lake is really an incredible picture. I couldn't even photograph the first half hour, I just sat there and enjoying this beauty. I want to come here again and I'm sure I'll never get bored. It truly is a sight to behold with your own eyes."

"Aerial shot of sunset over Reine, Lofoten Islands, Norway."

"Mt. Sharidake [in Japan] is called Onne Nupuri in Ainu language. This is a helicopter shot of Mt.Sharidake. You will see Mt. Unabetsudake and the Shiretoko mountain range in the distance. It was an amazing time for me and it was the most impressive scenery I've seen in my life."
