How Papua New Guinea's Islands Were Born 🌋🌊(with Shark Bait Poppy 🦈)

Poppy hangs off the back while underway to see what might lie beneath as we sail through these breathtaking chain of islands. The Louisiades Archipelago in Papua New Guinea was formed through a mix of tectonic and volcanic activity. Situated at the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, the movement of these plates uplifted the land, while the volcanic eruptions created many of the islands. Over millions of years, erosion and changes in the sea levels further shaped this stunning archipelago. 🎥 Check Out the Full Video - Guided by Village Chief to Secret Limestone Cave (Ep17) 📍Location: Louisiade Archipelago, Papua New Guinea ☕ Support Our Journey ☞ https://buymeacoffee.com/onceuponareef Or 🎁 Send us a gift ☞ https://throne.com/onceuponareef 🌍 Follow us: 📸 INSTAGRAM: @onceuponareef & @wheres.poppy 💡 PATREON ☞ https://www.patreon.com/c/onceuponareef 🎥 Poppy's YouTube Channel ☞ https://www.youtube.com/wherespoppy 📧 BUSINESS INQUIRIES - onceuponareef@protonmail.com Hey there, we’re Ryan and Poppy, a couple of adventure junkie sailors out to explore the most amazing reefs and islands in the world.
