Globe Climate: Wildlife photography of the year
The Swarm of Life by Shane Gross, Canada Winner, Wetlands: The Bigger Picture Shane Gross looks under the surface layer of lily pads as a mass of western toad tadpoles swim past. Shane snorkelled in the lake for several hours, through carpets of lily pads. This prevented any disturbance of the fine layers of silt and algae covering the lake bottom, which would have reduced visibility. Western toad tadpoles swim up from the safer depths of the lake, dodging predators and trying to reach the shallows, where they can feed. The tadpoles start becoming toads between four and 12 weeks after hatching. An estimated 99% will not survive to adulthood. Location: Cedar Lake, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada Technical details: Nikon D500 + Tokina fisheye 10–17mm f3.5–4.5 lens at 11mm; 1/200 at f13; ISO 640; 2x Sea & Sea strobes; Aquatica housing
