Here are CNBC Travel's picks of the best photos.

"The sun had just set, so you could still see the silhouettes of the other climbers, and if I had kept climbing, the perspective shift would've made their bodies disappear into the dark volcanic ash surrounding them." Fisher said a friend climbing with him added "a nice pop of light in the foreground" with a flashlight. He said it was " one of those moments you can't plan for and everything comes together just right." To see more of National Geographic's "Pictures of the Year 2024 ," visit NatGeo.com/Photos..
