An image which perfectly captures all of the stress, fear and hope of the migrants arriving in Europe who have hit the headlines this summer.
The tears of joy streaming down the face of the Syrian dad are even more heartwrenching in the context of him clutching his son and daughter close.
Freelance photographer Daniel Etter snapped the image showing the Syrian refugeefrom Deir Ezzor, holding his children, and breaking out in tears of joy as they arrived on Saturday on the Greek Island of Kos.
The small family were arriving via a flimsy inflatable boat crammed with about 15 men, women and children, all hoping against hope that their lives would get better - and their luck would see them through a dangerous and terrifying journey.
Speaking to Spiegel Online, in a translation provided by The Independent, Daniel said: "After more than two hours of driving the boat had lost air, water had leaked into it, the refugees were soaked when they arrived at the shore.
"They were then completely relieved to have arrived safely.
"In that moment it all came at them together, the joy of having done it; the love for their family; the grief over what had happened."
Daniel is a photographer and writer based in Barcelona working with, among others, the New York Times, Time, and Der Spiegel.
He is currently working on migration issues along EU borders with organisations like the humanitarian Médecins Sans Frontières.
The UN reveals that last week alone 20,843 people arrived by sea in Greece - 82% from Syria, 14% from Afghanistan and 3% from Iraq.
