National Geographic to auction off famous images

National Geographic Society has chronicled scientific expeditions, explorations, archaeology, wildlife and world cultures for more than 100 years, amassing a collection of 11.5 million photos and original illustrations. A small selection of that massive archive ? 240 pieces spanning from the late 1800s to the present ? will be sold at Christie's in December at "The National Geographic Collection: The Art of Exploration" auction, and is expected to bring in about $3 million, the first time any of the institution's collection has been sold.
