The Natural History Museum's prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition revealed striking images that detail the profound environments and behaviors of creatures around the world.
On Tuesday, French underwater photographer and marine biologist Laurent Ballesta was announced as this year’s winner of the grand title award for her image, called "The golden horseshoe," which captures an “otherworldly image of a tri-spine horseshoe crab accompanied by a trio of golden trevallies,” a statement from the competition said.
Laurent — who was first awarded Wildlife Photographer of the Year in 2021 — is only the second photographer in the competition’s 59-year history to be awarded the grand title award twice. Tap the link in bio to read more about the contest.
