CO S TA R I C A K E N YA PA N A M A “The wind owns Patagonia. Everything here knows it. The rocks weather, the ice sculpts, the forests stunt, and the animals adapt or die. The people of Patagonia battle the constant force with fortitude and heart. Existing at the bottom of the world certainly isn’t easy. Our research won’t be easy either. But that’s why we need to be here.” Mark Seifert, Ph.D. Dean of Academic Programs 17 PERU TA N Z A N I A T U R K S & C A I CO S
