Travel broadens the mind – and it also means travellers get to capture incredible images of our amazing planet that can be shared with people around the world.
The 2023 Travel Photographer of the Year Competition featured an eclectic range of images, from the deeply evocative winning picture of a Tuscan landscape to a disturbing photo of a herd of elephants rummaging through a garbage dump. The entrants from 150 countries submitted more than 20 000 images for the 2023 contest.
Here are some of the standout pictures.
