Patagon Journal #4 (Digital edition only)

This issue of Patagon Journal features an in-depth cover story about gold mining, hydroelectric dams, and other threats to the future of one of the world’s greatest whitewater rafting and kayaking destinations, the Futaleufu River in Chilean Patagonia. Our interview with environmental lawyer and Waterkeeper Alliance president Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. highlights why we must act now to save the Fu and other Patagonia rivers. Also in this issue: a 10-page pictorial showing the 14 winners of our first Patagonia Photo Contest; Shanie Matthews shares a story about a combination horseback riding and ski trip to La Horqueta; and five renowned skiiers tell their favorite places to ski in Chile and Argentina. As always, we also have our extensive travel section and regular departments on fly fishing, trekking, mountaineering and the environment.
