When I was 16 I thought my father the stupidest man in the world; when I reached 21, I was astounded by how much he had learned in just 5 years!

I would agree with the above suggestions and would add Jay Dusard.
This site is also full of landscape photographers. Just check out the Landscape thread(s).
If smaller formats are your thing, NPN has thousands of members and is largely focused on landscape.
I currently like Guy Tal
Second votes for Brian Kosoff, Michael Kenna and Jay Dusard. I love Brett Weston for sort of "midscapes" (smaller landscapes with no sky). For rural landscapes that contain evidence of we humans, David Plowden and Wright Morris. For both urban and natural landscapes, Ray McSavaney.
These aren't all necessarily "contemporary," but they are the main ones that opened my eyes to what there was beyond Ansel Adams, which was all I (and many others, I imagine)knew of B&W landscape initially!
Another one is Michael A. Smith - I've not totally warmed up to his work, but it is interesting. Oh yeah,Huntington Witherill.
And of course any number of folks who post here. One I like who is not coming around too much these days is Colin Graham.
I don't think Huntington is doing much landscape work these days, but Colin has a wonderful eye.
My personal list of favorites (in no particular order):
Robert Dawson
John Pfahl
Roger Mertin
John Divola
John Gossage
Frank Gohlke
Robert Adams
Ray Mortenson
Peter Goin
Barbra Bosworth
Stuart D. Klipper
Joe Deal
Richard Misrach

Lois Conner
