Dive Into an “Underwater Kaleidoscope” of Unbelievable Beauty

I love everything about this video. Not only do we get to spend a few minutes in what must be one of the most beautiful places on Earth, a seamount known as Cortes Bank. We get to travel there with Brian Skerry, an award-winning photojournalist who has logged more than 10,000 hours underwater.

Skerry’s eloquent musings on Cortes Bank (0:42) and thrilling tales from the field (1:08)make him a top-notch guide as we cruise effortlessly through the sea, passing sight after magical sight.

For These Monkeys, It's a Fight for Survival

On their Indonesian island, crested black macaques are hunted for meat, kept as pets, and threatened by a shrinking habitat. Can they be saved?

Macaques Fight for Survival
NAT GEO PLUS

Photograph by Stefano Unterthiner

A cheeky macaque in Indonesia stole a photographer’s camera and took an image of himself. What came next was a viral storm of interest, delight, and advocacy to protect the rare black-faced monkeys. National Geographic sent photographer Stefano Unterthiner to the island of Sulawesi, where macaques are regularly hunted and prized for meat, to observe the frenzied fight to protect them—and how photography is helping. | Look Closer |

Fisherman's 'luck has run out' after escaping croc-infested river
One of three mates who emerged unharmed after their boat overturned in crocodile-inhabited waters says he won't be buying a lottery ticket after the experience.
"The two men had actually swum to the bank, walked along the bank of the South Alligator River, actually swam back across the river, walked through waist-deep swamps to get to the highway, which was about three kilometres away, and from there they got a lift back to the boat ramp," she said.
