The "MOST recognized photograph" from National Geographic magazine.

Her name is Sharbat Gula.

Gula's picture was taken by National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry. Gula was one of the students in an informal school within the refugee camp; McCurry, rarely given the opportunity to photograph Afghan women, seized the opportunity and captured her image. She was approximately 12 years old at the time.

Although her name was not known, her picture, titled "Afghan Girl", appeared on the June 1985 cover of National Geographic. The image of her face, with a red scarf draped loosely over her head and with her piercing sea-green eyes staring directly into the camera, became a symbol both of the 1980s Afghan conflict and of the refugee situation worldwide.

The identity of the Afghan Girl remained unknown for over 15 years; Afghanistan remained largely closed to Western media until after the overthrow of the Taliban government in 2001.

A second National Geographic team found Gula in 2002. Gula,then around the age of 30, was found in a remote region of Afghanistan; she had returned to her native country from the refugee camp in 1992. The image itself was named as "the most recognized photograph" in the history of the magazine.
