For this year’s Photo Contest, EGU received a number of amazing images capturing a broad spectrum of the geosciences. Since the selection committee whittled the field down to 10 finalists, you have been voting for your favourites throughout EGU25’s week-long conference, both on-site in Vienna at the EGU booth, and online. After an enthusiastic response from voters, we are now ready -and very excited- to announce the winners!
Congratulations to our EGU25 Photo Competition winners!

Sunrise on the Bromo and Semeru by Anna van den Broek
Early sunrise on the Bromo in the front, and the active Semeru in the back.
Radiation fog over the Ebro river by Carlos Calvo-Sancho
On Christmas Day, when a light mist covers the Ebro River, the Basilica del Pilar emerges from the mist like a sacred dream – silent, timeless and wrapped in the silent magic of winter’s grace.
The Snake in the Dinosaur Bone by Bernardo Cesare
Polarized light photomicrograph of a thin section of dinosaur bone collected in Utah, USA. The image shows a highly porous structure, with pores filled with late chalcedony, and the fossil remnants of the bone tissue, where black dots used to host a single bone cell. Width of view: 1,9 mm.
The structure of the bone mimics a snake ready to bite.
