By George, Gibson,

Highly entertaining geo essay, but for one small fact missed out. The west coast of Colombia territorial waters, forms part of a rich H. Current. These waters possess giant squids, a main part of the local diet.

Hi Geoff,

Regarding the scene added at 1':25" time line, i think the village DOES NOT belong to Colombia, but located at north of Turkey. Please look and ckeck the Mosque just in the middle of village. This is typical to Turkey, unless there is a muslim village at Colombia:)

PS: i could not paste the scene here

Very interesting article. I knew about the Colombian highlands, but I knew nothing about the Colombian Pacific coast.

Is it also possible that a lack of navigable rivers and natural ocean ports plays a role?
