Wide Angle category runner-up. Curious Crabeater by Jessica Farrer (US) taken in Pleneau Bay, Antarctic Peninsula. “As a biologist I have been working with seals for many years and traveling to the Antarctic since 2009. This is a photo from one of my favourite encounters. It was captured on a snowy dramatic day, the sky could not have been more perfect ... There was a group of eight crab-eater seals cavorting around the bergs and they spent the better part of an hour spy hopping, splashing and circling around us. It was one of the most memorable experiences I have had with this species”. (Photo byJessica Farrer/Underwater Photographer of the Year 2019)
