Disclaimer on Regional Version Page Numbering

We have received some queries from different territories over the last several months questioning the numbering on the pages of  the monthly National Geographic magazine.  Please note that the unusual numbering is correct.

National Geographic prints different versions for the different regions of the world as well as the US version.  Each version has region appropriate advertising and some US only advertising may not printed in the regional versions, the pages are not re-numbered to take this into account.  

Note: Any pages removed from the regional versions are US only advertising pages and no editorial content is affected.

The National Geographic Society has been inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888. It is one of the largest nonprofit scientific and educational institutions in the world. Its interests include geography, archaeology and natural science, and the promotion of environmental and historical conservation.

The magazine is the official journal of the National Geographic Society, one of the world’s largest nonprofit educational and scientific organizations “for the increase and diffusion of geographic knowledge.” Since 1888, the Society has supported more than 9,000 explorations and research projects, adding to our knowledge of earth, sea, and sky. Filled with breathtaking photography and riveting articles, each issue is as exciting and captivating as life itself. Series of articles were included focusing on the history and varied uses of specific products such as a single metal, gem, food crop, or agricultural product, or an archaeological discovery.

Each issue of National Geographic fires the imaginations of readers, taking them on a journey that’s always enlightening, often surprising, and unfailingly fascinating. National Geographic’s editors, journalists, and photographers are the world’s best storytellers.
