The terrain is extremely rough in Papua and can be seen clearly here as bumps in the earth. It makes me think the land has goosebumps. These bumps are actually sharp limestone hills that are covered by the dense jungle. This area, now high in the mountains was once covered by the ocean, as sea fosils can still be found in very high elevations in Papua. This type of terrain is why aviation is so important, allowing transportation in minutes to places that would otherwise take weeks of trecking. (Photo Neil and Carol Anderson)
