15 National Geographic Photos That Have Never Seen The Light Of Day

Thousands of National Geographic photos see the light of day every year through their magazine or on website, but among so many images, many are also kept in a drawer waiting for someone to rescue them. A clear example are these photos that we are going to show you today and that have never appeared in any publication.

National Geographic photos have something that is capable of grabbing anyone’s attention. They are able to show us the most beautiful and strange corners of the planet or perhaps show us the suffering of a family because of the war, making us feel part of that image. Unfortunately, of the hundreds of thousands of photos that are taken by its staff, only a few are lucky enough to see the light of day. In order for everyone to be able to contemplate those photographs that have not seen the light of day, since 2013, it is possible to access a portal where some of these images are periodically published. Today we show you a small list of those that have caught our attention the most.

The images that appear in this post have been taken from the natgeofound.tumblr.com, where you can see many other examples.
