Abstract: For asymptotically flat spacetimes, using the inverse mean curvature flow, we show that any compact 2-surface, S0, whose mean curvature and its derivative for outward direction are positive in spacelike hypersurface with non-negative Ricci scalar satisfies the inequality A0leq4pi(3Gm)2, where A0 is the area of S0 and m is the total mass. The upper bound is realized when S0 is the photon sphere in a hypersurface isometric to t=const. slice of the Schwarzschild spacetime.
