This a magnificent shot of New Zealand's Southern Alps. They Run down the West Coast from Buller to Fiordland. I took this photo from my 18,000ft skydive over the two glaciers, Franz-Josef and Fox Glacier. You will see Fox Glacier nearer to the bottom of the photo and Franz-Josef toward the middle left. The reason why I love this image has a lot to do with the contrast from the blue tones to the striking white within. Also, you're able to faintly make out the Earth's curvature if you tilt your head slightly to the right.

It was a mission in itself to get this photo from 2200m-7200ft, but isn't the Tongariro Alpine Crossing simply astounding.
