ARGENTINA & CHILE - HUMAN & NATURAL HISTORY STORIES
Unitarian Hewett Centre, 949 W 49th Ave (at Oak), Vancouver Argentina and Chile have a recorded history extending back five hundred years. Much of that time was tumultuous and has left a legacy of tales and legends.
Both countries are dominated by the high Andes, the longest continental mountain range in the world, whose crest forms the border between them. These massive mountains have created a spectacular landscape as well as a unique natural history. Plants, birds and animals have evolved here that occur nowhere else on earth.
This talk features the beautiful photography of well-known travel and nature photographer Ron Long, with emphasis on the natural history and plant life of the magnificent Southern Andes.
