What is Papua like?
A land of geographical contrasts, Papua has hot, humid swamp lands, rugged mountains, beautiful beaches and even a glacier, covered in ice and snow! It is one of the last frontiers on earth, and its many people groups were unknown to the outside world until the middle of the twentieth century.
