A Familiar Greeting
Eleonary "Nary" Arce Aguilar—a vaquero, or cowboy—gets a hug from his daughter, Guadalupe, at Rancho Mesa San Esteban in Baja California, México, in this image from our photography archives. Due to changed economics and the effects of climate change over the past half-century, the off-grid lifestyle these vaqueros live is becoming more difficult to sustain as National Geographic documented in a 2021 story.Limitless with Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth takes on three epic challenges to explore science-backed ways to improve our health. He learns to drum for a brain-boosting, surprise stadium gig, climbs a frozen 600-foot wall to explore the benefits of breaking out of our comfort zones, and embraces brutal Special Forces pain training in South Korea—all to discover how we can live longer, better lives.
