The island of Irian Jaya is one of the world's last great frontiers. From the sago swamp lowlands to the towering glacial mountains of the highlands, Irian stands as a monument to the beauty of the natural world. With vast tracks of rainforest and myriad species from the animal and plant kingdoms she remains a treasure incalculable. There are many reasons people visit Irian. Some come just to enjoy the raw beauty. Others come to wonder at the tribal peoples while others come to study or help the people and the land.
