This is the National Geographic hangout I was talking about in a previous post. Said I would post it, so here it is. There is also a shortened version, if you don't have an hour and a half to kill, at National Geographic's 125th Anniversary Hangout

Enjoy

Volcanic

Volcanic images at National Geographic are always about lightning, lava and immense cones, but a volcano can also be spewing out mud, allowing you to bathe in them! This volcano is approximately 50 feet high and can accommodate 10 to 15 people in its active crater. It takes a bit to jump in, what if the pressure goes away? 

Location: Colombia, Mud volcano, El Totumo,

+National Geographic's 50 greatest photos to go on display at The Venetian.

It was an overwhelming and monumental task. How do you select the 50 greatest National Geographic photographs from the millions taken in its 125-year history? Every year, about 1.5 million shots are taken on assignment, but only some 1,000 make it into the 12 monthly issues.

Now the photo editors of the magazine with its global circulation of 8 million in 36 languages have curated the 50 greatest from 50,000 published in the last 50 years. The magazine was created in 1888.
