Owing to the world’s endless supply of breathtaking panoramas, the Nature & Landscape category is arguably both the easiest to load up with phenomenal drone footage, as well as the hardest to judge. Think about it...how does one compare the wide-open, stark yet stunning expanses of Iceland, with the inviting, and playful images of a tropical beach? Or a majestic mountain range (often replete with a fresh coat of snow, for effect) with the warm, unending, golden sand dunes folded into a desert? It’s a challenge taken on by this year’s nominees in Nature & Landscape, and we’re glad for it. The drone footage from these videos enable us all to revel in the beauty of our planet and experience views rarely seen before drones arrived on the scene. Congratulations PilotViking, this year's winner!
The view from above is always best. To discover more of our world as seen from above, lose yourself in our collections of Mountains, Whales, Waterfalls and more.
