What a year it has been.
Capturing some of 2017’s most iconic moments, we have seen a fantastic collection of photographs these past few weeks.
The likes of National Geographic, The Atlantic and The Royal Society have done well, so let’s see what CNN has to offer.

And because it’s the year 2017, let’s take a look at 17 of the most memorable moments from CNN’s international selection:
