REVEAL STONEHENGE'S ENDURING MYSTERY

National Geographic published its first photograph of Stonehenge in 1922. We’ve long been fascinated by these megaliths, and when recent discoveries uncovered startling new details about them, it was the perfect time to go back. Right now on our site and app, you’ll find an extraordinary new interactive experience that takes you deep into the mystery of Stonehenge—I guarantee you won’t want to miss it. We’ve also built a high-resolution 3D model of the site that lets you explore it yourself, using nothing more than your smartphone. Head over to our Instagram to experience it. I’d also like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Editor in Chief of National Geographic. Nat Geo has been inspiring me and helping me better understand the wonder of our world for decades, and I couldn’t be more excited to build on our tradition of exploration and innovation in bringing you content like this look at Stonehenge. Check it out, and stay tuned for lots more exciting subscriber exclusives in the months to come. Sincerely, Nathan Lump Editor in Chief National Geographic Media
