What is NatGeo? It’s the common name used to refer to the National Geographic Channel, launched by the NG Society in September of 1997. I watch this channel by my satellite signal. To the Movistar service is the channel 352. Also it has a monthly magazine with the best images.
National Geographic has been in my life since I was a child. My father bought a collection of 40 books and documental films made by NatGeo Society. I’ve watched almost 30 films, but I don’t even read any book, I only like to see the photos. The documental films are about animals, like Lyon’s life in Africa, the Irish Horse, and Siberian dogs, they show places of the world like Serengeti, Madagascar, Alaska, Mexico and how the life is in these places. They talk about some historical issues like the Titanic, Humankind secrets, and also some scientific things like how the human body works, volcanoes and precious stones. They refer to a widespread kind of items related with our life. The books are the best thing ever. Mostly are related with beautiful landscapes. There is one that shows Chilean landscapes, in the south. It shows Villarrica volcano, Osorno volcano and a fisherman in a river.
Someday I would like to work for this society. I want to create knowledge at the same way they do. Take beautiful photos, or cooperate with my knowledge about archaeology. Maybe someday I’m going to win an exploration grant to work for NG Society, and publish to the magazine. That’s my dream. Maybe I can do something related with my country, showing to the world that in Chile we have a lot of things, spaces to explore, important archaeological sites, like Monte Verde that is controversial with the establish data for American settling.

Hello again, mrk. I love the NatGeo too <3. I would like that Chile develop that kind of investigations, for to work there, but I this never come true, I would go out of the country, for to try to do something interesting with the knowledge that I am learning now. We can work together :)
