Man-made glaciers, giraffes rescue challenges and pigeon friendships are among the photographed themes chosen this year by the World Press Photo Foundation, an independent organisation that gives recognition to the strongest press photography annually since 1955.
Among the highlights of this year's World Press Photo competition are photographs and series that invite us to rediscover different corners of our planet from a new perspective, draw attention to the environmental issues, and offer new ways to observe and reconnect with our surroundings during the pandemic.
