From a jaguar's 'kiss' in Brazil and 'majestic giraffes' in Kenya to an 'alarming' photograph of flooding in Indonesia, these winning and commended images in the 2024 international Travel Photographer of the Year awards (TPOTY) showcase the full spectrum of life around the globe.
Amateur and professional photographers from more than 150 countries submitted more than 20,000 images in this year's competition. The judges described this year's entries as an 'incredible visual journey around the world, capturing its breathtaking moods and colours'.
This year's overall winner is Piper Mackay, a U.S photographer who 'takes the unusual approach of shooting in infrared' and the second female victor in a row. Mackay, who is based in Kenya, says: 'My philosophy has always been "never let the photo dictate your experience, always let the experience dictate the photo". This award completes my life's passion and work across Africa for more than two decades. There is no higher honour!'.
Scroll down to see MailOnline Travel's pick of the entries, with a selection of Mackay's winning images at the bottom. Which is your favourite?. This spellbinding image of Brasvellbreen, a glacier in Norway's Svalbard archipelago, was taken by Israeli photographer Roie Galitz. A Greenpeace ambassador, Galitz explains: 'As these waters flow into the ocean, they accelerate coastal threats worldwide, emphasising the urgency of addressing climate change to protect vulnerable ecosystems and human populations alike.' Galitz wins the 'Planet Earth - Landscape, Climate and Water award'.
