What happens when water moves too slowly to notice?

In Everglades National Park, it shapes everything.

Covering around 6,100 square kilometres, the park was established in 1947 to protect a wetland system unlike any other in the United States.

As a recognised UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park's elevated pinelands rise above the marshes and prairies that form one of the world's largest wetland systems.
