Re: Congo vs. Amazon
 

I think I voted Amazon cuz of the tidal bore but i retro switch my vote to the Congo because of Heart of Darkness. We have to weigh all.

Since I'm attaching Conrad to this, does anyone have a definitive author in mind who writes about the Amazon River specifically? I can't think of any.

Just Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who has a fantasy style that I would like to compare with the narrator's style in HoD.

Herzog's Fitzcarraldo and Aquirre, the Wrath of God as a film supplement.

Congo wins.

Or should we add to the Poll,
Conquistadors of the Americas VS The Scramble for Africa ?

Exactly! Michael Crichton turned the Congo into the Jurassic Park of rivers.
