It's Upton's third appearance in a Swimsuit issue. She was first chosen as rookie of the year in 2011, when Irina Shayk was on the cover.
This year for the first time, the fashion shoot covers the entire world, with 17 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models journeying to all seven continents. Photo sites include African dunes and Asian cliffs.
Upton got the surreal and beautiful landscape of Antarctica where the cover shot displays her clad only in a white, fur-lined parka and bikini bottom.
