Papua New Guinea occupies the eastern half of the island of New Guinea - the second largest island in the world - along with hundreds of smaller islands scattered across the south-western Pacific Ocean. The country's interior is dominated by the Central Range, a spine of densely forested mountains rising to over 4,500 metres that has historically isolated communities from one another and from the outside world, fostering a degree of cultural and linguistic diversity that is unmatched anywhere on earth. Papua New Guinea is home to over 800 distinct languages - roughly a third of all the world's languages - a statistic that speaks to the extraordinary depth and fragmentation of human settlement across its rugged terrain over tens of thousands of years.
The lowland rainforests of Papua New Guinea are among the largest and most biodiverse in the world, sheltering species found nowhere else on earth including the iconic birds of paradise, whose elaborate plumage and extraordinary courtship displays have captivated naturalists and travellers since first contact with the outside world. Tree kangaroos, cassowaries, and the world's largest butterfly - the Queen Alexandra's birdwing - inhabit ecosystems of staggering richness, while the surrounding coral seas form part of the Coral Triangle, the global centre of marine biodiversity. Explore related settings through our Wildlife, Nature and Oceans & Lakes collections.
Papua New Guinea's cultural landscape is as rich and complex as its natural one, with traditional sing-sings - elaborate gatherings of dance, music, and ceremonial display - bringing communities together in a living expression of ancestral identity that has endured alongside rapid modernisation in the coastal towns and cities. The Highlands region, only contacted by the outside world in the 1930s, remains one of the most culturally vivid parts of the planet, its communities maintaining warrior traditions, intricate body decoration, and agricultural practices stretching back millennia.

Port Moresby, the capital, sits on the southern coast and serves as the country's administrative and commercial hub, while towns such as Lae, Madang, and Mount Hagen offer gateways into the extraordinary diversity of the national interior. Papua New Guinea remains one of the least explored and most genuinely frontier destinations on earth, a country where ancient tradition and the modern world exist in a state of fascinating and sometimes turbulent coexistence.
