The best photos of the past week on October 17-23, as always, are presented by a team of photographers from National Geographic and site Culturology.rf.
17 October
The traditional Beltane Fire Festival, held in Edinburgh, Scotland, has its roots in Celtic fertility rituals. These annual folk festivals are a modern revival of the ancient Celtic celebration of the arrival of summer, and costumed performances are traditional events during this colorful fiery performance.

At first glance, this sight looks terrible. A catastrophe is about to happen … But no, this oceanic white-tip shark quietly swims in the waters of the Bahamas, accompanying the fearless scuba diver.
19 october
A picturesque place - Greenland. Even without being multicolored, the landscapes of this area can be inspiring and breathtaking. So, this apocalyptic landscape could be observed one day at a distance of eight hundred miles south of the North Pole, when stratus clouds, similar to stalactites, rushed at a speed of 90 km / h, driven by northerly winds.
The 20th of October
When young sea catfish, which live on the sandy bottom of Suruga Bay on the Japanese Izu Peninsula, come together, something like a huge light green ball is formed that rolls in an unknown direction, smoothly and gently cutting through the transparent water. An unforgettable sight was captured on camera by photographer Brian Skerry.
October 21
The sand dunes of Namibia are a delight not only for the eyes, but also for the body. So, the students of the geographical expedition invented a wonderful entertainment, rolling head over heels from the sand dunes, not leaving without attention any nooks and crannies.
22 of October
In the photo of Michael Melford - the snow-covered volcano Iliamna, which is located in the south of Alaska, in the northern part of the Aleutian Ridge. This volcano is still active, and fumaroles in its crater on the eastern slope almost constantly throw clouds of smoke and steam onto the surface.
October 23
Jumping into the water from the pier is a favorite pastime of children who have gone on summer holidays and frolic on the coast of a river, sea or lake. This kind of entertainment is very popular, in particular in Melbourne, where this photo was taken. Summer in Australia has become much hotter in recent years, which means that children escape the heat in cool water by diving and swimming.
