TPOTY Exhibition

If the winning photos of the Travel Photographer of the Year look familiar, it's because the winners were announced in December last year and their photos well publicized then. Six months later, the exhibition finally opened today at the Royal Geographical Society, Kensington Gore, London (CLICK). Admission is free. Above is the winner of the Best Single Image in a Spirit of Adventure Portfolio: Franco Banfi from Switzerland with this outstanding photo under broken ice of a Beluga Whale in the White Sea, Karelia Region, Northern Russia (detail). Rather than clicking through 150+ photos, CLICK for an excellent 6-minute BBC News audio slide show produced by Paul Kerley.
