The Great Ravine
The Great Ravine
A view of the ravine that divides the summit of Kukenán Tepui The text on this poster reads: 'Kukenán Tepui is one of a hundred vast tablelands that lie scattered across the Guiana Highlands of South America. The flat summit of this immense mountain is highly eroded and crisscrossed with deep trenches and canyons. It also bristles with vast labyrinths of towering rock pinnacles and is home to great accumulations of sparkling white quartz crystals. An enormous ravine that is four hundred metres deep cuts across the narrow middle section of this great table mountain and isolates the northern part of the plateau of Kukenán Tepui from the larger southern section. Evidently this great ravine represents a significant ecological barrier since some species of plants and animals are found either only in the north or only in the south and no where else in the world.'
