THE startling beauty of a solar eclipse is captured in this breathtaki­ng picture.

The stunning snap helped Vladimir Alekseev scoop the Travel Photograph­er of the Year award for 2020.

His other entries included an electrifyi­ng shot of lightning bolts over Tver, Russia.

Russian photograph­er Vladimir perfectly captured the moon covering the sun in

Svalbard, Norway. He said: “It was one of the most important and impressive astronomic­al events. I managed to capture this amazing moment.”

More than 25,000 images were submitted from photograph­ers in 147 countries for the annual awards.
