The sounds of some of Earth’s most remarkable locations are often forgotten when visitors are lost in the visual wonder of the destination – but these noises can often be just as captivating and inspiring as the views. NeoMam Studios, commissioned by Expedia, have found a unique way of bringing these two elements together by visualising the sound waves into photographs of several exceptional destinations, from around the world.

Offering a new angle to look at these eleven iconic locations, the photographs certainly are poetry in motion – have a look at them all below!
