  • Calbuco, The Awakening.：噴火したカルブコ山
Calbuco Volcano is located in the lakes region south of Santiago, Chile's capital city and is one of the 10 most dangerous volcanoes in the country. After more than 40 years of inactivity, the day April 23 the volcano erupts, spewing more than 200 million tons of ash and causing the evacuation of more than 2,000 people. In the picture is seen one of the most violent moments of the eruption, which occurred in the early hours of April 24.
LOCATION:Frutillar, Los Lagos, Chile

  • Enchantment of light and shadows：霧が出た日の出の風景を撮影
After the sunset we saw that fog was forming and hoped that it would not fade away till morning so we set our alarm clock 3 hours before sunrise. Then we drove for two hours to the location and along the road we could see through the trees that the bog was fully covered in fog. We quickly set up our octocopter drone and flew over the trees, the opening view was breathtakingly beautiful - sunrays, fog, shadows, pools.

  • Corumbá Jump：ブラジルにある巨大な滝を撮影
This waterfall is located in the State of Goias, Brazil. Most impressive is that we can get very close to it and swim in the pool that is formed.

  • Here, humans are the minority...：サウスジョージア島で撮影した、ペンギンの群れ
This was shot in South Georgia in december '14. It was probably the most intense moment of my whole trip to antarctica - it's just overwhelming standing in there between hundreds of thousands of penguins - it's not a bad "minority feeling", but more of a peaceful reassurance that - at least in some places - our planet is still as beautiful as it was before mankind started having a go at it. THANK YOU to all those countries and individuals involved in keeping places like these intact!

  • Practice makes perfect：独特な求愛の踊りをするコウロコフウチョウ
A juvenile Victoria's Riflebird will practice the art of the mating display performed by adult males to lure in the female. When fully grown the male will turn a velvety black with a bright blue green crown.
LOCATION:Daintree, Queensland, Australia

  • Watchful Mother：チーターの親子
We were in the northern Maasai Mara (Kenya) and had been trying to find this cheetah and her cubs for most of two days. Finally we saw her and she came out of the brush and gave us the once over. Eventually she decided we weren't a threat (or a potential meal).

  • the crowd：ブラジルで撮影した魚群
This photo was taken in the most beautiful island of brazil. At 30ft underwater, I was free diving and holding a rock to keep me at the sea bottom. The school of fish came around me and almost posed for the shot ... it was an amazing experience.
LOCATION:Fernando de Noronha (Distrito Estadual), Pernambuco, Brazil

  • Evening streeeetch.：たまたま出会った人懐っこいリス
This was one of the most curious interactive squirrels I have ever come across. We sat down to enjoy the view and have a snooze and we were interrupted by this little guy scurrying over our camera bags. He was trying to reach for a friends camera that was also taking pictures just out of my frame.
