Unheard voices from a forgotten land - online, illustrated novel about West Papua - amazing read, beautifully produced:
"The adventure started with an old postcard of conical stilt houses set against a background of misty mountains. The general location? Somewhere in West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara" [Indonesia].
An adventurous group of young architects set out on a quest to find the village of Wae Rebo, then decide to stay and found a Tourism Institution to help develop the local tourism industry and save the village from extinction. An inspiring story and a good example of how traditional houses can be a real asset for tourism also in Timor-Leste.

In the first week of a joint Indonesia - U.S. exploration of the deep ocean north of Sulawesi, Indonesia, NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer’s built-in multibeam sonar mapped a huge undersea volcano while cameras on the ship’s remotely-operated vehicle took high-definition images of the feature called Kawio Barat, referring to the ocean area west of Kawio Islands.
