A View from the Smokies


The Great Smoky Mountains

This is a mountain range between Tennessee and North Carolina. It is extremely well known for its plant and animal life, containing more different types of trees in just its area than all of Europe. Two things of a particular note are its salamanders and its fog. The area gets a lot of fog due to its elevation and climate, and it is one of the reasons the range is called the Great Smokies. It also has the most diverse salamander population outside of the tropics.
