The formation known as the
Guiana Shield spans more than
600,000 square miles. It’s a
remnant of an ancient seafloor,
uplifted roughly 165 million
years ago when Africa and
South America began breaking
into two distinct continents.
The expedition traveled
through dense jungle
to reach the relatively unex-
plored Mount Weiassipu.
