NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
Afghanistan Girl Cover in HD
June 1985
Rolex and National Geographic have a relationship that goes back many, many years, and today I am very happy to be able to share a very special image from the National Geographic Archives, which is likely the most iconic image to grace the cover of National Geographic Magazine, as well as being one of the most beautifully haunting portrait photographs ever taken.
The photo originally appeared on the cover of National Geographic Magazine back in 1985, and it was taken by Steve McCurry. Today, we have the privilege of seeing it in super high-resolution, which makes it even more outstanding!
