National Geographic’s photography, evolving through the decades, is embracing the next web with a move into NFTs—and an opportunity to bolster its roster with experimental digital photographers.

Joining existing stars and long-time contributors like Jimmy Chin, Delphine Diallo, and Mike Yamashita, our crew will include artists such as Cath Simardand Mia Forrest, who use composite and post-production techniques to create powerful landscapes and mesmerizing botanical imagery. (Above, Chin’s “Cerro Torre at Sunrise.”)

Photography and innovation have always been at the core of Nat Geo, and as we move into our 135th year we continue to push the boundaries of visual storytelling as far forward as technology allows.

Ahead of Tuesday’s rollout of natgeo.com/NFT, here’s a look at a few of the works we’ll be featuring—as well as this explainer on NFTs themselves.

Secrets in the caves:
The rugged coasts of Italy were ideal homes for our prehistoric cousins, the Neanderthals. Researchers are gaining new clues after recently discovering bones belonging to nine Neanderthals in this area, Nat Geo reports. How were the bones found? Wild hyenas had guarded them in their den.

PHOTO OF THE DAY

Tiny, tiny tags: The speedy hummingbird is the world’s smallest bird. That makes putting metal identification tags on their legs very delicate. In this image from our Instagram, Nat Geo Explorer Elliot Ross shows David Inouye and his granddaughter, Miyoko, carefully trap broad-tailed hummingbirds for the tags, which allow scientists to track the migration and behavioral patterns of these remarkable creatures.
