Finalist Adventure Photographer of the Year
Olle Nordell Antarctica
Swimmer and environmental activist Lewis Pugh swimming off Antarctica. “We were deep into the Antarctic peninsula for Lewis’s long distance swim,” says Olle Nordell, expedition photographer for the Lewis Pugh Foundation. “After scouting the bay for a good spot, I positioned myself in a zodiac. My window was small. As Lewis passed me, I framed him with the blue fringe of the glacier.”
