FOTOS | El maravilloso mundo que nos muestra National Geographic en Instagram

Si hay una revista que ha sabido sacar provecho a las redes sociales es la clásica “National Geographic”, donde posee uno de los perfiles más visitados de Instagram con 19 millones de seguidores.

Pues bien, la publicación está celebrando el haber alcanzado los 1.000 millones de “Me Gusta” tras publicar cerca de 7.000 fotos.

El éxito de la revista en esta red social se basa principalmente en que ha puesto dos perfiles: natgeoyourshot, donde publican las mejores fotos de los lectores y natgeoadventure donde se centran en la aventura.

Estas son algunas de las publicaciones que han hecho famosa a “National Geographic” en Instagram.

Photo: Andy Mann (@andy_mann) // People often ask me, “What is like to swim with Bull Sharks?” I think the answer depends on your idea of fun, and how much of it you can handle. Personally, I love fun. The underwater world is full of it. There is so much mystery in our world, and the beautiful part is, you don’t need keys to unlock it.

Photo by @joelsartore | Monarch butterflies at their winter roost in Mexico, but now they’re migrating to the U.S., where they’re threatened by habitat loss and pesticide use. But they can be saved. At home, school and work we must plant native species of nectar-bearing plants including milkweed, the one plant monarch babies can’t live without. #Monarchs #PhotoOfTheDay #mexico #butterfly #joelsartore #PhotoArk #beautiful #insect

Photograph by @paulnicklen This is one of my favorite images of all time and the cover of my book, Polar Obsession. A large male polar bear dives under a piece of sea ice and the glassy surface above grabs his reflection. I want my photography to be a combination of art, science and conservation. The art demands that the image is good enough to be published in publications like @natgeo or to be hung on a wall; the science requires that it teaches us something about polar bears like the fact that they are marine mammals and are comfortable swimming in the polar seas. Finally, the conservation message is that without sea ice, polar bears cannot survive. They need ice as a platform in order to hunt their favorite prey-seals. Scientists predict that due to human induced climate change, polar bears could become extinct before the year 2100. And of course, there is always a message of hope. It is not too late to reduce our dependency on oil and coal and turn to cleaner energy.

Photograph by @paulnicklen // An intense auroral display dances over Canada’s Yukon during a cold and crisp fall night. I am very grateful to have these records of rare moments in nature as it would be easy to doubt my memory as time passes. Have you ever stood under the aurora? It is like being in a surreal dream as the entire sky begins to dance and undulate. An incredibly powerful and humbling experience.

Photo @ladzinski / Exploring the remote fjords of south east #Greenland leaves you with a feeling of calm isolation that’s hard to find. These seemingly endless mountains here are mostly untouched and unexplored, it’s a place of true serene beauty. Seen here, sunset over the “Gnar Wall” on an expedition to climb this untouched remote tower with @mikelibecki @ethan_pringle. The duo successfully summited the tower in a 36 hour sleep deprived push up the direct face of the wall. @mountainhardwear @angelajpayne @3stringsproductions

Photo by @ciriljazbec Northern Lights over ‘Big Island’ mountain in Uummannaq, Greenland. They are steeped in legend and mythology. Greenlanders believe that when the Northern Lights dance around the sky, it means that the spirits are playing ball with the skull of a walrus. Some people also say that it’s with a skull of a human being, and when we whistle, they will come down and take our skulls and play with them. @natgeo @ciriljazbec #Greenland #Northern #Lights #spirits

Photo by @shonephoto (Robbie Shone) taken on a smartphone – Below the surface of the ice and in a contact cave on the Gorner glacier in Switzerland, the second largest glacial system in the Alps, scalloped icy-blue walls glisten inside a moulin. Sadly, over recent years I’ve noticed this ice mass shrink in size.
