The Everglades National Park Map
Origins
The Indian name for the large marshy spread known as Everglades is the River of Grass, a region where the aquatic basins are covered by huge grass carpets, often lying as the eye can see.
Geology
From a geologist point of view, not long ago Everglades were covered by the sea waters, being exondated seventeen thousands years ago, during the glaciations. After the sea retired, the limestone foundation showed.
Clime
Everglades National Park has a subtropical climate with two seasons. The dry season lasts from December to April, when the temperatures vary from 12o C to 25o C and the humidity is low. As the water level is low at that time the animals gather in central water spots that offer the opportunity of populate. During the wet season, from May to November, the temperature is constantly up to 33o C and the humidity over 90%.
