A GRAIN OF GEOGRAPHY

The “Giants of Guyana” are found in the savannas, forests, wetlands and waterways that surround Mount Roraima, which forms the corner where the borders of Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela all meet. This 2800-meter (9000 feet) -high tabletop mountain or tepui, a Pemon (Indigenous) word that means “house of the gods,” is virtually unscalable, and often wreathed in mists that give it the appearance of an island in the sky.
