Finalist Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Michael Haluwana Greenland

78°17'43.8"N 19°57'58.3"W

"I’ve always wanted to travel to Greenland," says Haluwana. "When I did, the experience was better than my expectations. I came across this group of humpback whales with their calves feeding amongst this stunning backdrop of icebergs. The conditions for capturing this shot with the icebergs exposed in the back were great, but I still had to be quick as weather conditions and icebergs can change in an instant, sometimes without warning."
