© GREG LECOEUR / UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR
AN IMAGE taken by French
photographer Greg Lecoeur has
seen him win the title of
Underwater Photographer of the
Year 2020. Beating off
competition from more than 550
entries from 70 countries around
the world, the image depicts
Antarctic crabeater seals. To
capture the shot, Lecoeur
travelled to Antarctica on a small
yacht, which enabled him to
document wildlife on drifting
icebergs – he called the image
‘Frozen Mobile Home’.
The competition also named
several other winners, including
British Underwater Photographer
of the Year 2020, which went to
Nicholas More from Devon for
his shot of rabbit fish. For more
