For This Prestigious Contest, Photographers Capture the Planet's Most Stunning Landscapes

Known as Tse Bitai to the Diné (Navajo) people, or "winged rock," Ship Rock in New Mexico is an otherworldly geological formation rising out of the desert that can be seen for miles around. The result of a massive volcanic eruption, the unique outcrop consists of a monolithic stack and at least six radiating, serpentine ridges of long-cooled lava. Originally, Ship Rock was likely a few thousand feet below the ground, but gradual erosion over tens of millions of years has revealed its jagged shape.
