Welcome back to a new-look Geography with Dan

It's a common school of thought that we, as a species, have come a long way since our 'cave-man' times; that we have developed into a generation that might seem unrecognisable to our ancestors. To some extent I would agree. We live in a world with a quest for knowledge, the genetic code and the silicon chip. We live in a time of space exploration and keyhole surgery; 3D cinema and polymers. But there's something that, fundamentally, hasn't changed: our undeniable yearning for communication. We may not travel for months to exchange messages, but our success undoubtedly is due to our ability- and willingness- to correspond with one another. Our mission to understand our planet's complexities is an international one, with specialists scattered around the globe, sharing real-time information.

The basis of any website is to communicate with the world too and if you're reading my message here, this new-look Geography with Dan has at least lived up to that criterion.  But the very best websites strive to be unique. Geography with Dan pulls together all the assets of modern technology to bring you YouTube videos, photo slideshows and interesting bite-size chunks of geographical news. But why don't you find all this out for yourself?
