Recognition

“Give your video plug-in a workout at a new National Geographic site that provides a behind-the-scenes view of the adrenaline-pumping adventures of its film crews. Rather than bloopers, you’ll see things like shark bites and exploding glaciers.”

“For decades, National Geographic Television has been educating and thrilling viewers—transporting us to remote locations and taking us on daring expeditions. But what about the off-camera adventures? What about the stories of ‘getting the shot,’ the individual crew members, the special gear, the ‘shots that got away’? We find all of these angles and more, brought to life with IPIX images, in nationalgeographic.com’s latest Web feature—Voices.”

“Take an in-depth look at the preeminent architect of the Twentieth Century.”

“The architecture of today’s sighting speaks for itself.”

“Educational sites would do well to emulate this offering. Today’s Sighting steers in the right direction.”

“Do you wish you were scaling mountains, charming snakes or swimming with sharks instead of doing your desk job? Steal away to National Geographic’s Voices while the boss isn’t looking.”

“[A]n absolutely stunning piece of work that straddles the line between commercialism and educational content...The information content is so perfectly presented that even the most dry bits of data, such as temperature and rainfall measurements, are interesting to look at and consider. Each individual exhibit is beautifully crafted...Technically, these are ideally composed. The bandwidth requirement is almost nothing and color selections are very intuitive.”

“There’s something for everyone in the family at this well-designed site,...whatever you do, don’t miss Xpeditions, a stunning series of interactive geography lessons that bring maps to life in amazing ways. You won’t find anything else like it online.”
