내쇼날 지오그라프지 놀라운 사진들: National Geographic's Amazing Photos

At the end of each year, National Geographic rounds up its best photos - and here we will take a look at 20 of them. Every day throughout the year, National Geographic releases a Photo of the Day - some classic, others quirky, but they always select an image with a story to tell. In their pick for 20 of the best photos they selected photographs with the most shares, likes, and comments from the social sphere. Let's take a look. Which photo do you 


1. Cracking the Surface, Lake Baikal

Photographer Alexey Trofimov captured quite an unusual picture of the ice here. He writes that the "ice on Lake Baikal is a very interesting phenomenon."


2. The Village, Hungary
national-geographic
This photograph was taken by Gabor Dvornik, who lives half a mile from The Village, which is set on a natural reserve in Sződliget Hungary. While the air in this place is special every season, it is especially rare to have a nice, misty day. "It was utterly ghostly and very moody out there" he writes.


3. When Penguins Attack, Antarctica

Captured with a GoPro on Antarctica's sea ice. The photographer, Clinton Berry had studied the movements of the penguins for weeks. The day that this shot was taken, there were over 60 penguins and Berry says that there was a bit of luck involved too.

8. Bioluminous Larak, Iran

This shot was taken along the shore of Larak, Iran - an island in the Persian Gulf. "The magical lights of the Plankton enchanted me so that I snapped the shot," Pooyan Shadpoor says.


9. Mother of the Forest, Madagascar

The boabab trees on Madagascar are 800 years old. They are home to snakes, bats, bush babies, bees, and, at times, humans. The trees are an important source of water - one can store up to 4,000 liters of water in its trunk. This photo was taken by Marsel Van Oosten.


10. Fox Found, Gran Paradiso National Park, Italy

13. Big Baby, Tonga
national-geographic
This young humpback whale was captured in the waters off Tonga. Karim Iliya writes that she "could not help but wave and smile at the newborn whale almost three times my length. Curiosity got the better of it and emerging from under its mother's fin, it swam toward me, approaching less than 30 centimeters" (11 inches).


14. Bird Feeders, China
national-geographic
Abderazak Tissoukai was near Xingping in China's Guanxi region when he took this shot of a cormorant (a trained bird, used to help men fish in rivers) and a fisherman at sunset. "Xingping is definitely one of the most beautiful places in China, with its scenic karst landscapes, and its traditional and genuine people," he writes.


15. Kit Friendly, Estonia
national-geographic
This kit fox appears to be weighing the presence of Kalmer Lehepuu's camera lens. He writes that "on one beautiful evening, the mother went to get food and left the kits on their own." Lehepuu then snuck closer to observe them.


16. Shining Through, Apostle Islands, National Lakeshore, Wisconsin
national-geographic
This shot, taken by Ernie Vater, captures the setting sun shining the rough ice on the shore of a frozen Lake Superior. Part of the beauty of this place is its silence. Vater writes, "you hear nothing except for the occasional creaking of the ice".

These golden jellyfish are harmless to humans, they spend much of their time following the sun as it moves across the sky. Sunlight for these jellyfish is essential. Captured by Ciemon Frank Caballes.
