Finalists: #IMC Field Site Photo Contest

These were the incredible finalists of the Field Site Photo Contest that took place at #IMC22. We received dozens of breathtaking images from all over the world, offering a glimpse into the fascinating and diverse locations where researchers carry out their important work. It’s inspiring to see the range of environments in mountain research and the challenges many face in these remote areas. We deeply appreciate everyone who took the time and effort to share their unique perspectives with us. Thank you for your passion and for letting us experience your field sites through your lens!
