你是否有勇气进入这片茂密的沼泽 Dare to delve into this dense swamp

奥克弗诺基沼泽

奥克弗诺基沼泽大部分位于佐治亚州东南部，是全美最大的淡水沼泽地。这片巨大又独特的生态系统覆盖了700平方英里的土地，生活着各种各样的野生动物，比如鹭、鹤、麻鸦、美洲短吻鳄、啄木鸟、乌龟、蛇、青蛙等。宁静的水域被有机物腐烂产生的单宁染成棕色。这片区域曾经是塞米诺尔印第安人的领地。到了现代，这片沼泽的一大部分已经被商业化了，这里的泥煤矿藏被作为燃料开采。

Okefenokee Swamp

The Okefenokee Swamp, on the border of Georgia and Florida, is the largest intact freshwater swamp in the US. Its slow-moving blackwaters are stained by tannins from decaying organic matter and this vast ecosystem, covering 700 square miles, is packed with wildlife. Herons, cranes, bitterns, American alligators, turtles, snakes, frogs, and Florida black bears are among creatures who roam the swamp, which is largely protected by the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. In the early years of the 20th century, part of the swamp was logged, and its peat deposits were mined for use as fuel. Remnants of railroad lines can still be seen crossing swamp waterways as well as other equipment dating from its time as a logging area.

Cumberland Island National Seashore

Along the southernmost stretch of Georgia's Atlantic coast are several barrier islands, and Cumberland is the largest. The US National Park Service (NPS) protects 9,800 acres of the island's wilderness, a place where, as the NPS says, nature and history meet. Human occupation on Cumberland Island touches on numerous milestones in the story of America.

Eventually, Cumberland became a vacation getaway for wealthy industrialists in the 20th century before it became a protected public land.

The natural beauty of the island's maritime forests and marshes add to Cumberland's unique charm. And a lush ecosystem supports the island's diverse array of wildlife, including armadillos, alligators, and herds of feral horses.

州坎伯兰海岸国家公园

沿着乔治亚州大西洋海岸最南端有几个屏障岛，坎伯兰岛是最大的。美国国家公园管理局（NPS）保护着岛上9800英亩的荒野，正如NPS所说，这里是自然和历史交汇的地方。坎伯兰岛上的人类占领涉及到美国历史上的许多里程碑。

最终，坎伯兰在成为受保护的公共土地之前，在20世纪成为富有实业家的度假胜地。

岛上海洋森林和沼泽的自然美景增添了坎伯兰独特的魅力。繁茂的生态系统支撑着岛上各种各样的野生动物，包括犰狳、短吻鳄和成群的野马。
