Of course...you know about National Geographic, right? the magazine...the channel...the traveler...the animals...etc. Yellow box as an icon..make every person on earth know how it feels when go to one part of the world to another...

At first, National Geographic was as simply as research report by scientist on that era...but soon after that, black and white photograph become popular and National Geographic found that pictures can tell a story... so, then they decided to make photos as their main report. Not stop just at that moment, because at that time, the photos were taken inside. But then, several photographers sent their photos to them and one of them is outside photograph about iceberg in Iceland...that's the story behind why the photos are very colorful...have deep meaning...environmental issues...make people care...and that the same time looks like a scientific report... ^o^
