@anderson_joshuaNima Sarikhani, an amateur photographer based in the UK, has secured a major win at the Wildlife Photographer Of The Year competition. His winning shot, titled Ice Bed, features a polar bear asleep on an iceberg near the Svalbard archipelago in Norway. This specific image took home the people's choice award from the Natural History Museum. The path to victory was steep, as the photo survived a cut to a final shortlist of just 25 entries. That small group was selected from a massive pool of almost 50,000 submissions sent in from across the globe.
