What's Happening in the National Geographic Blogosphere

(What? you haven't subscribed to our RSS feed? Or to the email option? Well we recommend you do so by clicking either the link to the left, or putting in your address in the box below, and quickly.) But are you aware of the other blogtastic offerings around the Society? No? Well we're here to help.

David Braun at the Nat Geo News Watch blog has a great review of the "kaleidoscope of fantastic shapes and colors that photographer Jon Ortner has captured in his newest book, "Canyon Wilderness of the Southwest.""

National Geographic Adventure's Costas Christ decodes the eco-lexicon jungle, distinguishing between ecotourism, geotourism, and responsible travel.

Our friends over at the National Geographic Maps Contours blog have a video tour of the extremely cool new National Geographic Store, which just opened in London.

And National Geographic Magazine's Pop Omnivore blog looks at the new film Austraila, and has this to say: "Every possible cliché about the Land Down Under loads it with dead weight. It's Crocodile Dundee and Rabbit Proof Fence with a dash of Gone with the Wind." Ouch.
