Everglades National Park, Florida, United States Apr 24, 2026

What happens when water moves too slowly to notice? In Everglades National Park, it shapes everything. Covering around 6,100 square kilometres, the park was established in 1947 to protect a wetland system unlike any other in the United States. As a recognised UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park"s elevated pinelands rise above the marshes and prairies that form one of the world"s largest wetland systems.
