Photograph titled Edna's Paroxysm, taken by Gianluca Gianferrari and the Grand Prize winner of the Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award (HIPA) 2025. Description reads: Above Sicily's Etna Volcano, glowing lapilli erupt against a snowy backdrop, and thus creating a striking contrast. The fiery bursts settle on fresh snow, forming a kaleidoscope of colors under the night sky. This is a testament to the unpredictable beauty of nature, where destructive power merges with serenity in a fleeting embrace that is eternally captured by the lens of the camera.
