Fray Jorge National Park

    0.01 sec.

Fray Jorge National Park

National park, north-central Chile. Established in 1941 and covering 38 sq mi (100 sq km), it preserves a pocket of subtropical forest in a semiarid region. Botanists conjecture that this unusual situation exists because the relatively warm discharge of a nearby river into the cold Pacific Ocean creates an almost continuous fog, providing moisture for the forest.
