Meet a traveller: Göran Ehlmé, underwater photographer

Whether it’s Antarctica or the Azores, under ice or in open water, the briny deep is this explorer’s adventure playground. At an early age Göran became fascinated with the underwater world and since learning to dive at age 14, has travelled across the globe to shoot some incredible marine creatures, from leopard seals and orcas to walruses and narwhals.

We caught up with this adventurer to find out more about his most memorable moments at sea.
