They were chosen from two million photos.
National Geographic presented the magazine's Photos of the Year.
This is stated on the official website.
The 29 images, selected from a whopping 2 million images by a panel of 165 photographers, are available to view in the magazine's December 2023 issue.
The collection of photographs reflects world culture, scientific achievements, the most intimate moments of nature and much more.
Here are five of the year's most amazing moments caught on camera:
The photo shows a deadly striped sea krait swimming to the surface of the Pacific Ocean to gulp for air. The creature was filmed inside the Palau Marine Sanctuary. The marine reserve was opened in 2015. It is the sixth largest in the world. The photo graced the cover of the magazine, which is already 135 years old.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine last February, soldiers crawl across snowy terrain on skis as the US and Finnish militaries began joint training operations north of the Arctic Circle. Soldiers are seen training during the exercise, which took place shortly before Finland joined NATO in April.
The photo shows indigenous women of the Amazon. Tukuna women wear pink dolphin costumes made from the bark of the Yanchama tree. According to Vogue Italia, the Tukun have a long-standing belief that the pink dolphin is a charming man who goes to their festivals to get drunk and excite women. According to the myth, the enchanted women went with him to the river, where they themselves turned into dolphins.
This photo shows Yale University researchers successfully resuscitating dead pig brain tissue by combining it with a variety of drugs and oxygen. In medical science, research into pig body parts for human xenografts has made huge strides in recent months.
An NYU Langone patient this year lived two months after receiving a pig kidney transplant, and a Maryland resident lived six weeks after receiving a pig heart transplant. Doctors attribute the temporary success of the organs to the ability to remove and add genes to better blend with the human body.
For the first time since 1972, the United States is returning to the moon to expand the capabilities of astronauts to explore deep space. NASA astronauts, particularly Zena Cardman, are already preparing for the Artemis mission, named after the twin sister of the Greek god Apollo. Cardman is conducting high-precision tests on Earth in a training suit weighing more than 35 kg to anticipate gravitational changes on the lunar surface.
