And I believe our interactive digital experience, “[Into the Amazon,]( is the best way to immerse yourself in what we discovered. You’ll meet our National Geographic Explorers and hear about their exciting work, from [swimming with pink dolphins]( to exploring the [high mountains]( at the river’s source to examining the “[plume]( where the Amazon meets the sea and feeds our oceans.

You may not think of a snowy peak when you think of the Amazon at first. But when undertaking an ambitious two-year expedition to explore the planet’s largest, most biodiverse rainforest, you must begin at the source of the water that is this crucial ecosystem’s lifeblood—in this case high in the Andes.Follow along with us on social media [@NatGeo]( for behind the scenes footage of our journey.
