The Impassable Swamps of Sudd
The swamps of Sudd in South Sudan are among the largest wetlands in
the world. Located in the delta of White Nile, it covers the average
area of 30,000 sq. km. During the raining season the wetland can extend
to over 130,000 sq. km, which is as much as the size of England. The
Sudd is considered almost impenetrable overland or by boat. The abundant
water-loving plants form the massive moving blocks. The swamps of Sudd
are inhabited by the Dinkas, one the Sudanese ethnic groups.
