National Geographic: Atmospheres

What a wonderful world.. it was?
National Geographic is a place where we can relax our eyes enjoying all the beauty of our world. From sea to space we will always be amazed and surprised by nature but it's sad that some of those images can become a part of the past because of human behavior. A big number of animals and plants have already disappeared and a huge number is at risk.
I hope you enjoy all the beauty of these images and videos but, please, don’t forget that our living planet is sick and we are all needed to help.
