‘I want people to see nature as a wondrous work of art’: Jon McCormack’s best phone picture

The Australian photographer climbed inside a hollowed-out rock overlooking the ocean to get this striking, disorienting image

Around 10,000 years ago, Kangaroo Island separated from mainland Australia. As a result, species evolved independently – and now the island is home to wildlife found nowhere else, including a soot-coloured dunnart, as well as, of course, kangaroos. The human population here is so low that there are 14 kangaroos for every one person.

On the far southern edge of the island sit Remarkable Rocks: granite forms carved over time by wind, rain and salt. Jon McCormack took this photograph inside one of the boulders overlooking the Southern Ocean, facing towards Antarctica.
