National Geographic has revealed the winners, runners-up and honorable mentions in its latest Travel Photographer of the Year contest, which accepted entries in three categories—Cities, Nature and People. The Grand Prize award, which took 1st place in the Cities category, was an atmospheric picture of a small fishing village in west Greenland by Weimin Chu.
Among the amazing images were a couple of great shots that will interest underwater shooters: a serene dolphin capture by Scott Portelli, which earned 3rd place in Nature, and a split shot of crabeater seals by Rita Kluge, which was a People’s Choice pick in the Nature category.
