The National Geographic Society's flag has been a symbol of adventure and discovery for over a century. In addition to flying high at headquarters in Washington, D.C., the Society's flags have been carried on innumerable expeditions to the far-flung reaches of the globe and beyond. The flag is blue over brown over green with white inscription National Geographic Society. The colors symbolize the earth, sea and sky.
The flag first went on assignment with the 1903 Ziegler Polar Expedition to the Arctic. Since then it has been on hundreds of Society expeditions, including treks to both the North and South Poles, the 1935 Explorer II Stratosphere flight, the climb to the summit of Mount Everest with the late Dr. Barry Bishop, and on all of the Apollo missions. Perhaps the flag's greatest journey was to the moon with Neil Armstrong. Someday it may accompany astronauts to Mars.
