Amazon River Islands: The Floating Forest

The Anavilhanas and Mariua archipelagos are deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Flooded for 6 months of the year, the islands are a fortress of submerged trees and wandering vines, and home to some of the most unusual creatures in the world. / Vancouver island is the largest island off the west coast of North America. Glaciers fuel the flow of some of Canada's tallest waterfalls, and an endless network of rivers and creeks provides the ideal habitat for the pacific salmon.
