The 2024 World Nature Photography Awards are a striking reminder of nature's duality: its breathtaking beauty intertwined with its unforgiving brutality. Tracey Lund from the UK took the grand prize for her stunning portrayal of two gannets engaged in a fierce struggle over a fish, amidst the turbulent waters near the Shetland Islands.
Other notable entries include crabs clinging tenaciously to survival in the raging river currents and zebras racing against time as they evade the relentless pursuit of cheetahs. Here, we present a curated selection of standout photographs that captivated audiences in this year's event.
