South Pacific

Amid the endless blue of the Pacific rise tropical islands full of life. White beaches and palm trees give way to dense forests, while coral reefs teem with fish, turtles and sharks. Seabirds glide above the lagoons, and everywhere the interplay of sea, land and air can be felt. On the islands of Micronesia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, Indigenous communities have lived in harmony with this environment for centuries, their culture and traditions deeply interwoven with the landscape. These island worlds feel pristine, untouched and uniquely beautiful.
