Spectacular pictures taken from all corners of the earth by some of the world’s best photographers feature the unmatched beauty of nature in this year’s World Nature Photography Awards.
From remote Antarctic lagoons, where leopard seals hunt their penguin prey, to pristine ice falls in central Japan; from half-submerged scenes of American crocodiles stealthily skulking below sun-kissed tropical waters in Cuba, to the awesome power of bull elephants sparring in Kenya; the majesty and wonder of the earth, and all its creatures, are showcased in the competition winners’ submissions from across six continents.
