Armando Vega is a Mexican documentary photographer and National Geographic Explorer.

His work focuses on the environment, climate change, as well as broader issues such as migration and the relationship between communities and their territory.

Recently, he has been actively involved in scientific expeditions and environmental conservation projects. Vega participated in the creation of the Península Mitre Protected Natural Area, where, together with an extraordinary group of biologists, freedivers, underwater photographers, and Patagonian artists, he traveled to the most remote region of Tierra del Fuego to document research on the positive impact of kelp forests in addressing climate change.

Additionally, Armando was the lead photographer of the Rolex and National Geographic Perpetual Planet expedition, in which the highest weather station in the Southern Hemisphere was installed on the Tupungato volcano. Vega was chosen for this important mission due to his close connection with glaciers, a relationship that began in the Andes.

Vega’s photographs have appeared on the covers of two Spanish-language issues of National Geographic magazine.
