June 2022: Events and Anniversaries Preview
1 June 2022
Welcome to your akg-images June preview tool, covering June to September, as well as featured stories and a list of significant dates in the year ahead. Each date links to an album of imagery and brief text.
June brings the most daylight hours in a month in the northern hemisphere and the fewest in the southern hemisphere. June also brings World Environment Day.
As an addition to our preview, we would like to share the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth parts in our series of Contextualising the War in Ukraine.
The preview tool can also be found in our Newsroom at any time you'd like it.
