As usual, I've just picked up National Geographic, and the photos are just amazing. In this thread, I want you to post pics or links to photos that are also amazing. Not OMG HAWT MCR!1 photos, but the sort of photos that just leave you standing there wondering how they did it.

My first shout would be to Stefano Unterthiner:

First, for This Set from this month's NG, of Penguins.

And also, these ones of Wandering Albatrosses, my favourite birds ever.

Then, some cool shit from some underground caves by Carsten Peter

12 of 20 on the wandering albatross is my favourite!

those crystal caves are awesome!

thanks for posting, i really liked them all, i couldn't pick a fave.

it was nice to look at while eating!

Amazing shots and yet at the same time really depressing because I know I could never produce any of those. But sufficiently beautiful to make the depression worthwhile. The crystal caves are insane!
