Everglades National Park, Florida, United States 24 Apr 2026

What happens when water moves too slowly to notice? In Everglades National Park, it shapes everything. Covering more than 2,300 square miles, 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.
