Great Divide


 * ''For the episode, see "The Great Divide"

The Great Divide is the largest canyon in the world. It is located in the rocky regions of the central Earth Kingdom.

Description
‎The Great Divide can be crossed in about a full day if one has an expert guide. Some believe that the canyon was a natural result of millions of years of erosion, while local belief holds that the canyon was first formed by angered Earth Spirits who lacked proper sacrifices from local farmers. The canyon is home to various insects and omnivorous arachnoid creatures, mostly those known as Canyon Crawlers. The creatures possess a superior sense of smell and will attack passerby if they are carrying food. The single way down the canyon is by a narrow path along the sheer cliff wall. The canyon itself is wrought with missing sections of wall and spontaneous avalanches. It is therefore essential to be crossed only with the aid of the Earthbender guide, who is familiar with the secrets of the canyon and is able to re-construct or de-construct sections of the trail.

In "The Great Divide", Aang and his companions crossed the Divide in the company of two local tribes: the Zhang and the Gan Jin.
