From lockdown to landscape, the winners of the global 2020 Travel Photographer of the Year give us a fascinating view of our planet at a time when most of us have been stuck at home for much of the year.

Almost 25,000 images were submitted from photographers in 147 countries, with Vladimir Alekseev becoming TPOTY’s first-ever Russian overall winner. The winning shots – which can all be viewed in the Winners’ Gallery on tpoty.com - will go on display in Coal Drops Yard, King’s Cross, London, in May and in other venues, including Chester Cathedral, later in the year.
 
12-year-old Indigo Larmour from Ireland achieved the not inconsiderable feat of winning Young Travel Photographer of the Year for the second year running, with a beautifully composed, atmospheric black and white portfolio from the streets of Lahore, Pakistan.
