Gondwana GIS Chile

"So thick was the wood that it is necessary to have constant recourse to a compass; for every landmark, though in a mountainous country, was completely shut out," ..."In the valleys it was scarcely possible to crawl along, they were so completely barricaded by the great mouldering trunks, which had fallen down in every direction," ..."When passing over these natural bridges, one's course was often arrested by sinking knee deep into the rotten wood; at other times, when attempting to lean against a firm tree, one was startled by finding a mass of decayed matter ready to fall at the slightest touch." - Charles Darwin

The Wildlife Conservation Society has taken charge of the land and we are not currently working on this project
