National Geographic shared a list of 15 of its best images captured during the 2010s.

Susan Goldberg, editor in chief of National Geographic, shares the most powerful images published by national geographic—a media outlet known for powerful photographs—in the past decade.
We are known, and have been for most of the past 130 years, for taking people on visual journeys into every corner of the Earth—from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans, from jungles to deserts, from the biggest metropolises to the most remote countrysides. In the past 10 years alone, our photographers have taken 21,613,329 images in the quest to document life on this planet for our print and digital platforms. More than 21.6 million images! That’s an amazing number—and a bit terrifying if you try to narrow it down to some kind of “best” or “favorites” list.
Despite that terrifying task, the staff at national Geographic chose 15 photographs, by 14 photographers, as the best of the decade. Click through to the source article to see them all.
