Begun in mid-1996, this website currently has 10,000+ screens providing narratives and images of topics related to cultural and physical geography, following in the National Geographic Society's tradition. More than 17 hotlinks provide an incredible, dynamic panorama of geography, including:
  • Interactive Features
  • Maps
  • Photographs
  • News
Other primary links that are useful include:
  • Kids
  • Educators
  • Forums
  • Live events
  • Exhibitions
One can also find compelling and useful links to the NGS Archives (magazines, books, and images); Library (a searchable collection of 50,000 books and 300 journal titles—maps and images are not available to the general public); a 108-year Publications Index; Research Grants (for professional geographers); Expedition Council (requirements for exploration funding); and the annual "Geographic Bee" (children grades 4-8). The website is easily accessed, readily navigable, provides an extraordinary variety of up-to-date information, and is recommended to students at all levels and the general public.
