2011 was an amazing year. These photos are just a sampling of a few of our favorites from past galleries. Submitted by some of the most talented photographers on the planet, each of these images catches a certain moment that is forever gone, but won’t be forgotten. Much like 2011. We’d like to say thanks to everyone that contributes to, reads, or even thinks about The Inertia. We’ve established a wonderfully diverse community of ocean lovers here, and we’re excited for what the New Year brings.

So from all of us at The Inertia, here’s to looking forward to 2012 – hopefully the Mayans are wrong.
