For more than a century, National Geographic has been synonymous with exploration. Our photographers have documented the depths of the ocean, traversed uncharted corners of the rain forest, reached the peaks of treacherous mountaintops, and told the stories of our planet's little-known communities.

Nat Geo's global photo community, Your Shot, continues this tradition of curiosity and adventure every day.

This month, Photo of the Day took us around the world: inside the cockpit of an airplane, outside with the window-washers of the world's tallest skyscraper, and up close to a fiery lava stream in Hawai'i.
