Original – A meteorite in a blue-ice area of Antarctica.
Reason
This photo shows a blue-ice area with the characteristic, wind-scoured blue ice ... except for the meteorite, a common find in such blue-ice areas, and its lee where normal snow has accumulated. It's a large image that seems to be of good quality.

Jo-Jo Eumerus, the "creator" field is for image authors/creators/photographers and such, not uploaders. I fixed it. Bammesk (talk) 01:39, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I took the liberty of changing the image credit per the source link. Hope that's Ok. Bammesk (talk) 01:03, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You know, did Nina Lanza work for NASA when she made the photo? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:45, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nina Lanza's CV [1] says she was working for the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a government agency. The nom image is published by NASA though. The flickr source [2] says the CC license is "non-commercial". I don't think Commons considers "non-commercial" claims to be valid in case of photos published by U.S. government agencies.
