3rd place Adventure Photographer of the Year

Franco Banfi Tasiilaq, Greenland

65°36'60.0"N 37°37'32.8"W

A scuba diver swims close to an iceberg in Tasiilaq, East Greenland. "Approximately 90% of the ice mass of an iceberg is hidden below the surface," says Banfi, "and I wanted to show these Arctic giants from a new perspective. Underwater, their structures are completely different and their shapes and textures are constantly changing. You quickly notice that every iceberg is alive; they creak, move, and breathe. When you’re down there listening to the crackling from this frozen fortress, you feel very small."
