Patagonia is a vast region of dramatic landscapes that most commonly refers to the Andes-influenced areas of both Argentina and Chile. Reaching from the Barrancas River in the north, which borders Argentina's famed Mendoza wine country, all the way south to Tierra del Fuego at the continent's most southern reaches, it is a region of wildly diverse geography. Depending on where you are in Patagonia, you might find yourself surrounded by desert, steppe, canyon lands, fluvial plains, glaciated mountains or dense rainforest. In Chile's Los Lagos region, you'll find the latter.
By most, New Jersey is thought of as a concrete badlands, conjuring an image of a landscape predominated by stacked and twisted highways, smokestacks and warehouse distribution centers. And in many parts of the state, that image holds true. But from where the mighty Delaware courses through its mountainous reaches in the northwest to its pinelands in the center of the state to the largemouth bass ponds that dot its south, Jersey is rich with angling and outdoor opportunities.
Greenland, the largest island in the world. Three times the size of Texas, but with a population of less than 60,000 people, it is one of the least populated countries in the world. Though Greenland’s ice sheet still covers around 80% of the island and is almost 10,000 feet thick in places, Greenland’s ice is melting at an astonishing rate due to anthropogenic climate change. Greenland's ice sheet is so thick and immense, that it literally deforms the earth's crust.
Anglers travel to Kamchatka, almost without exception, for one reason: its plethora of trophy wild rainbows the likes of which aren't found anywhere else on the globe. The Savan isn't Kamchatka's numbers river or its big fish river. Or maybe it's both. The river's unique combination of plenty and size gives anglers a little taste of everything (photo: Earl Harper).
