#1. Photo Of The Year: Drifting in space by Gilad Topaz
Embarking on a thrilling boat journey aboard an icebreaker in the chilly waters of the Baltic Sea, Sweden, Gilad and other fellow adventurers were in for an unforgettable adventure. When the icebreaker stopped, they seized the opportunity to plunge into the icy sea, carving out a ‘pool’ amid the frozen water. Clad in specialized rubber suits to ward off the cold, they floated in this surreal environment, feeling like astronauts drifting in the boundless expanse of space.
