Beautiful photos of 2013

"It is clear from the mountain," - exclaimed my wife. We stayed in quite a cheap hotel on the edge of the National Park Torres del Paine in Chile. Instead, I saw a mountain mist. But I still found the camera and sent it to the side of the park. When the sun and shadows playing in the snow and mountain faces, it turns a work of art. (Richard Duerksen)

Under the stars, two researchers descend into the icy depths of the glacial "mills" in Switzerland. Naked stone above the glacier in the upper left corner shows how much ice has melted.
