21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Quilotoa Lagoon in Ecuador

The photo depicts the Quilotoa lagoon completely clear, and in the background, you're lucky enough to be able to admire the Illiniza volcano, with its two snow-capped peaks rising to over 5100m. It's quite rare to be able to admire them, as they are often hidden in the clouds.
