Unfortunately, NatGeo has changed how their webpage works since 2016, so the images referenced in the article don't show up automatically. When you see a giant blank space where you think there should be an image (and the article text tells you what to expect to see in that image), click the blank space. This will open up a zoomed in view of the broken image. Example: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2016/08/bot-fantasy-map-generator/#/1471374002484.jpg Links to an external site.
