This is the "Afghan Girl". Her name is Sharbat Gula, but no one knew her name for a long time. This photo, first published on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic magazine, has become one of the most recognizable and popular in the history of the magazine. In January 2002, the National Geographic team went to Afghanistan in search of the girl. That year she was already about 30, she clearly remembered how Steve photographed her then, but she first saw this world-famous photo only in 2002.
