Banaue Rice Terraces

Southeast Asia extends from the volcanic craters of Sumatra to the limestone formations of northern Vietnam, combining geological features with centuries-old cultural sites. The region includes Lake Toba, one of the world's deepest crater lakes, the Banaue rice terraces that have been cultivated for over 2,000 years, and Komodo National Park, home to the world's largest living lizards. In Thailand, Wat Rong Khun draws visitors with its unconventional white architecture, while Luang Prabang in Laos blends French colonial buildings with Buddhist monasteries. The underwater world ranges from the biodiverse reefs surrounding Raja Ampat in West Papua to Sipadan Island off the coast of Sabah, where sea turtles and barracuda schools are common. The Gili Islands off Lombok provide access to coral reefs with no motorized vehicles on land. The Phong Nha-Ke Bang caves in Vietnam contain some of the world's largest cave systems, while the Chocolate Hills in Bohol form over 1,200 conical mounds. Less visited sites include the Plain of Jars in Laos with its stone vessels of unknown origin, the red lotus fields of Udon Thani in Thailand that bloom between December and February, and the abandoned Bokor Hill Station in Cambodia from the French colonial era. Mount Kinabalu rises to 13,435 feet (4,095 meters), making it the highest peak between the Himalayas and New Guinea. The region connects active volcanoes, tropical rainforests and temple complexes from different periods.

Satellite imagery has transformed how we view remote locations on Earth, offering perspectives on places that are often invisible or difficult to reach from ground level. This collection presents natural formations, artificial structures and historical sites from an aerial vantage point. From geological features like the circular Richat Structure in Mauritania's desert to ancient geoglyphs and modern engineering achievements, these images provide a distinct view of our planet's diversity. Locations documented include the geometric Nazca Lines in Peru, the pyramid structure of El Castillo in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula and the Badlands Guardian in Alberta, a natural rock formation that resembles a head wearing headphones when seen from above. The collection also features Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, an artificial archipelago shaped like a palm tree, the vivid blue potash evaporation ponds in Utah, the pink waters of Lake Hillier in Western Australia and the volcanic island of Surtsey off Iceland. Additional examples include the Atacama Giant in Chile, a prehistoric geoglyph, the heart shaped Galesnjak island off Croatia's coast and the ship graveyard of the former Aral Sea in Uzbekistan, which documents the ecological consequences of human intervention.

The Philippines display rice terraces in Ifugao mountains, coral reefs in Tubbataha National Park, and cave systems in Samar. Mayon Volcano shows its geometric shape, while Chocolate Hills of Bohol extend across the landscape. White sand beaches line the coasts of Boracay and Palawan.
