GNS Science Visual Media Library

The GNS Science Photo Library, now named the Visual Media Library (VML), contains over 200,000 stock images featuring aerial views, landscapes, geological features and scientific research including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and landforms. Not all of the photographs are available through the VML so contact us if you have any further queries. High resolution images are available for purchase for publications, displays and website usage. Low resolution images are free of copyright charges for study or non-commercial reference purposes. Fees do not apply for GNS Science related usage but do apply to external clientele.
