Amazon Rain Forest

The rain forest, once under the threat of deforestation, has emerged once more, powerful and deadly beyond belief. All traces of humanity have been wiped away, replaced by the wild vines and ferns, the trees and canopies and undergrowth, that make up the most majestic forest in the world.

The trees grow to be larger than the tallest Redwoods that once lay in North America. Not quite as tall as mountains, of course, but huge nonetheless. The trucks are massive around, and the ground can be frozen straight through in the fall because of the lack of sunlight in some places.

The Amazon River winds through the center of the forest, an unstoppable stream of water and wildlife that take and give on a whim. Sometimes, a single step into the currents can be murder, and others, the water is gentle as a summer spring. All depends on how pissed off Mother Nature and her River are at you.
