国家地理杂志总裁吉尔柏特．葛洛佛纳 (Gilbert H. Grosvenor) 出生于1875年10月28日

当你看着国家地理杂志里一张张奇特的照片时，你是否会对这个世界生成更多想像？

当这本杂志刚开始发行时，是以文字刊物的方式来设计。但是在吉尔柏特．葛洛佛纳 (他的发音是葛洛佛－纳) 在1903年成为这本杂志的总编辑后，各种美丽的照片就成为这本杂志的特色之一了。在1920年时，葛洛佛纳又成为发行国家地理杂志的全美地理学会 (National Geographic Society) 的总裁。葛洛佛纳在1875年10月28日出生于土耳其，他最大的贡献就是将国家地理杂志改造成为全球知名的杂志。

藉由销售这本杂志所赚取到的经费，全美地理学会得以持续探索不为人知的世界景观，然后再将这些景观介绍给数以百万的读者。你知道他们都到哪里去探险吗？


When you look at the exotic photographs in a National Geographic magazine, do they make you wonder about the world?

The magazine was a plain-covered journal when it first started. The beautiful photographs became part of the journal after Gilbert H. Grosvenor (pronounced "GROVE-nor") became editor-in-chief for the publication in 1903. In 1920, Grosvenor took on a second role as president of the National Geographic Society, which publishes the magazine. Born in Turkey on October 28, 1875, Grosvenor is credited with transforming National Geographic into a world-renowned monthly magazine.

With the money earned from the magazine, the society was able to explore previously unknown worlds, then introduce them to millions of people. Where did the society go on its explorations?
