Why don't you go to the National Geographic link I posted above, and 1) look at the issue, 2) email them and ask them why they issue later in the UK and how they print their issues. I'm sure there is a "Contact Us" email address, and I'm sure they'll be happy to help you! I doubt you will get answers readily by posting in an older thread.

For instance, click on the "Sights and Sounds of South Sandwich" to see penguins. If you click on the Saturn article, it will give you part, and then you can get the magazine online. I realize you might like the tactile pleasure of a magazine better, but it's all the same information at least. Sticks, click on this link: http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0612/index.html
