Finalist Adventure Photographer of the Year

Rodrigo Thome Galapagos

1°40'44.1"S N 92°00'14.0"W N

A shiver of hammerhead sharks. “This is an  image that will live forever in my memory,” says photographer Rodrigo Thome. “When you visit  the iconic Darwin Island in the Galapagos, you expect big things. Huge whale sharks, schools of hammerheads, lots of fishes and marine life all around. But can you never understand what it is to be under a ceiling of sharks until you experience it. The emotions are unexplainable.”
