Finalist Exploration Photographer of the Year

Life beneath a frozen fjord. “This photo was taken on an expedition to photograph former freediving champion Anna von Boetticher with icebergs under a frozen fjord,” says photographer Tobias Friedrich. “We had to put all our equipment on a snowmobile to go out on the fjord, until we reached a point where the snowmobile could go no further. From there we had to pull the equipment on a sledge to the dive site.”
