125th Anniversary of National Geographic

Capturing the world’s attention for 125 years: National Geographic celebrates its anniversary with a look-back at its most poignant and awe-inspiring photographs.

The best of the magazine’s award-winning photojournalism is showcased in the anniversary issue, which serves as both a celebration of the magazine’s great work in the past and an introduction to what the National Geographic Society’s future holds.

The issue tells a visual story of the medium that National has helped to shape, and how it can impact our lives by bearing witness and giving insight to history.

‘Photography is a powerful tool and form of self-expression,’ said Chris Johns, editor in chief of National Geographic magazine. ‘Sharing what you see and experience through the camera allows you to connect, move and inspire people around the world.’
