The natural world is a stunning place.

Every year, the best landscape photography shows off Earth's beauty, and a handful of select photographers are celebrated in the 2017 International Landscape Photographer of the Year contest.

The images captured by the 2017 winners highlight powerful mountains, scenes of isolation, worlds of color and light, and the abstract loveliness found in landscapes all over the world. Winning photos were shot in the wilds of Patagonia, the mountains of Iceland, and in the desert-surrounded lakes of Brazil.

They show the world in ways that will make you want to get up, pack a bag, and go exploring. Take a look here.
