Shot in Arizona’s Antelope Canyon by photographer Peter Lik, Phantom was sold to a private collector for $6.5 million. Peter isn’t the only one to have walked the canyon’s sandy corridors with a camera in hand, however.

The EyeEm community has roamed Antelope Canyon, capturing its rocky orange curves in all their glory. They’ve uploaded their masterpieces to EyeEm for all to admire. And they sure give Phantom a run for its money! Here are some of our favorites.
