Underwater Photographer of the Year 2024 – Alex Dawson
The title of “Underwater Photographer of the Year 2024” goes to Alex Dawson for his stunning image of a whale skeleton on the ocean floor, taken off the coast of Greenland. The native hunters of Tasiilaq capture the minke whales in their region and pull them ashore at high tide. At low tide, families gather to cut off the animals’ meat, skin and blubber. All that remains is the skeleton, which is pulled back into the sea at the next high tide, and the remains can be found in shallow waters.
