The world at work - from the Arctic to India: Stunning pictures from the National Geographic photo contest show people hard at work around the globe
From the early rising fish market vendors descaling and filleting their catch to an artist sketching in the shadow of the Salzburg Cathedral, these photos show how different the work day can be for people across the globe.
The following photos are just a few of the submissions to this year's 2015 National Geographic Photo Contest.
Among some of the best pictures this year are photos showing different people around the world, going about their business - literally. From men boiling sugar cane juice at a farm in India to Polish scientists bundled up in parkas to collect salt water samples from the Arctic Ocean.

Robert Pogorzelski: Substantial part of our duties as members of the Polish Polar Expedition is related to collecting scientific data. On the picture - the other crew heading to the Gashamna Bay to gather results which will be used to analyze salt and fresh water exchange between glaciers and the Arctic Ocean

Liza Boschin: Thai fishermen load a trawler with empty fish barrels after the market day at Songkhla port. Every day hundreds of thousands of fish barrels are sold at local markets and then exported worldwide. Trawling is extremely aggressive in the Gulf of Thailand, causing fast decline of the marine population and killing vast sections of the coral reef. Most fishermen on board trawlers are enslaved immigrants coming from neighboring countries
Professional and amateur photographers alike still have a chance to submit their best pictures of people, place and nature around the world for this year's contest though November 16.
The grand-prize winning photographer of this year's contest will get his or her picture published in the magazine; $10,000 and a trip to visit National Geographic headquarters in Washington, DC to attend the society's annual photography seminar this coming January.
'National Geographic uses photography to inspire, illuminate and teach our readers about our world and beyond,' said Sarah Leen, National Geographic magazine’s director of photography. 'The National Geographic Photo Contest is an exciting opportunity for our photo community to participate in documenting the Earth, its creatures and its people. We look forward to seeing photographs that are passionate, skillful, surprising and beautiful. I’m very excited about seeing the entries we receive this year.'

Hongki Lee: In South Korea, 'Noryangjin' is very famous for its fish market... If you buy the fish, it can be trimmed to eat [with] seating anywhere

Emily Hart: While showing my friend around Salzburg's grand cathedrals, I spotted this artist hidden between the columns at the Dom [The Salzburg Cathedral]. We made eye contact instantly, he thinking I would buy one of his drawings, and myself thinking what a marvelous moment. After the shot was taken I thanked him and said his work was beautiful, and he smiled back, realizing that I was not taking a picture of the Dom, but of him. It was a moment I won't forget.

Andy Lao: This photo was taken during my vacation in Cambodia this year. When I was wandering on a street in Siem Reap, I found this construction site where a worker was working on his masterpiece. The splendid pure white tent and the beautiful sunlight made a simple but perfect picture.

Mattia Passarini: In the remote Sichuan area [of China] every year in July the shepherds cut the wool of their sheep for [a] little money as additional livelihood. This woman, [has] more than 200 sheep. [With the help of her other relatives] the work is done by hand with simple scissors. The sale price of an entire sheep's [worth of] wool is about $3
