The pictures present a unique look at some of the planet's most mercurial environments, as the photographers on display dangled from helicopters, immersed themselves in alligator-infested waters, endured freezing temperatures for months, and braved angry volcanoes -- all for the shot.

Some of the exhibits slated for the display include: Clyde Butcher's Swamplands; lush jungle photography by Michael "Nick" Nichols, bringing the audience nearly face-to-face with tigers and gorillas; Paul Nicklen's alien landscapes found in polar regions, and the rare animals inhabiting these isolated environments; and Donna and Stephen James O'Meara's vibrant photos of erupting volcanoes and dancing molten lava.
