National Geographic is an American magazine that is noted for its cover stories and accompanying photography.[1][2][3] Throughout the 1990s National Geographic's cover stories showcased global historical events such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill.[4] Cover stories included articles written by notable writers such as Joel Swerdlow,[5] Paul Theroux[6] and Paul F. Salopek.[7] Cover photos were published by notable photographers such as David Doubilet,[8] James Nachtwey[9] and Frans Lanting.[10]
The 1990s saw articles written and photographed at locations around the globe featuring marine life like the February 1994 issue titled "Sea Turtles: In a Race for Survival", written by Anne and Jack Rudloe with a photo on the cover of a Sea turtle, photographed by Bill Curtsinger.[11] Articles featured on the cover of the magazine also included human-interest stories such as "1491: America Before Columbus", photographed by Jack Unruh featuring the Iroquois Native Americans in the October 1991 issue.[12] Many geographical locations were featured including Petra, an archaeological city in Jordan, in the December 1998 article "Petra: Ancient City of Stone", written by Don Belt with photographs by Annie Griffiths.[13]
In the August 1991 issue, Thomas Y. Canby wrote the cover story titled "The Persian Gulf: After the Storm", writing about the Kuwaiti oil fires after the Persian Gulf War. The photo on the cover of the magazine featured a picture of oil fields on fire, photographed by Steve McCurry.[14]
