National Geographic Photo Contest Winners

National Geographic Adventure has announced the winners of their photo contest, and there are some good ones in the mix. Great combinations of wild places and great amateur photography. Makes you want to take a month off and go backpacking with your camera gear.

The photo above was taken by Langley Eide of Arrow Glacier Camp on the Western Breach route on Kilimanjaro. An interesting fact about this photo is that it was taken just before the first ascent of this route since a deadly rockfall in 2005. I was lucky enough to have ascended this route just a few weeks before that rockfall and was one of the last people to summit via that route, until this shot. It's a tough route with alot of loose rock. Beautiful to behold though.
