The National Geographic Magazine, later shortened to National Geographic, is the official journal of the National Geographic Society. It published its first issue in 1888, just nine months after the Society itself was founded. It is immediately identifiable by the characteristic yellow frame that surrounds its front cover.
In this Issue:
• The She-King of Egypt - Why did Hatshepsut decide to rule Egypt as a man?
• Australia's Dry Run - Farmers feel betrayed by the climate.
• Changing Rains - Droughts and deluges could stir up political unrest.
• Svalbard's Ice Paradise - Seals, bears, and birds flourish on Norway's islands.
• Resurrecting Russia's Church - The faithful search for a new, post-Soviet identity.
• Vanishing Amphibians - Scientists race to save them from threats.
