A continent of contrasts<\/h3>\n

The map of South America is a dramatic display of geographical contrasts. It is dominated by two of the world's most powerful natural formations: the Andes, the world's longest mountain range, which stretches like a spine along the entire west coast, and the Amazon, the world's largest rainforest and river system, which spreads across the heart of the continent. These two giants have shaped everything from climate and biodiversity to where people have settled and how countries' borders have been drawn. To understand the map of South America is to understand the interplay between these powerful natural forces and human history.<\/p>\n
