2014 Nat Geo Traveler Photo Contest Winners
1. Grand Prize – The Independence Day
Marko Korošec
Selected from more
than 18,000 entries, a photograph of a dramatic storm cloud, taken by
Marko Korošec of Sezana, Slovenia, has been chosen as the grand-prize
winner of the 2014 National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest. Korošec has won an eight-day National Geographic Expedition to Alaska’s Inside Passage
for two aboard the National Geographic Sea Lion or the National
Geographic Sea Bird. Shot near Julesburg, Colorado, the winning photo is
titled “The Independence Day” because the spaceship-like cloud formation reminded Korosec of the 1996 movie.
