BELGIAN CONGO The virgin forest

Summary[edit]

Description
Deutsch: BELGISCHER KONGO Der Urwald Belgisch-Kongo liegt im Zentrum Afrikas in einer großen Senke, die vom Kongo und seinen Nebenflüssen entwässert wird. Das Klima ist sehr heiß und feucht, weshalb das Land fast vollständig von Regenwald bedeckt ist. Die Abbildung zeigt den üppigen Regenwald, der von einer Eisenbahnlinie durchquert wird. Die Eisenbahn ist in Belgisch-Kongo eine unverzichtbare Ergänzung zu den Wasserwegen, die durch zahlreiche Stromschnellen unterbrochen werden. Das Foto stammt aus dem Kongomuseum.
English: BELGIAN CONGO The virgin forest The Belgian Congo occupies, in the centre of Africa, a vast depression drained by the Congo and its tributaries. The climate is very hot and very humid, and the country is almost entirely covered by virgin forest. The engraving shows the exuberance of this equatorial forest which is crossed by a railway. In the Belgian Congo, the railway is an indispensable complement to the waterways, which are cut off by numerous rapids. Photo from the Congo Museum.
Français : CONGO BELGE La forêt vierge Le Congo belge occupe, au centre de l'Afrique. une vaste dépression drainée par le Congo et ses affluents. Le climat y est très chaud ettrès humide ; aussi le pays est-il presque entièrement recouvert par la forêt vierge. La gravure montre l'exubé-rance de cette forêt équatoriale qui est traversée par une voie ferrée. Le chemin de fer est, en effet, au Congo belge, le complément indispensable des voies navigables, coupées par de nombreux rapides. Photo provavenant du Musée du Congo.
