Video and pictures from my trip to the extremely remote Kopiago, Southern Highlands.

At 45 seconds we're flying over the Porgera gold mine which started in 1990.

I kept running out of space and only captured a small amount of video from the amazing blue lake.
It looks so deep and rich, crystal clear, not touched by humans for possibly decades.
It was quite an experience fly through the region and meeting the locals.
