“The Ancient Mariner”
This year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year award went to marine biologist Laurent Ballesta, who scored a captivating shot of a tri-spine horseshoe crab and three gold trevallies. Taken on the seafloor off the Philippines’ Pangatalan Island, this shot shows how the horshoe crab just keeps chugging along, after more than 100 million years on Earth.
