Indonesia, 2024 (#16 in teaser series: “scantily clad” karst coast)

 

Some of Raja Ampat’s shores have to be seen to be believed…and even then, one could well wonder, “am I dreaming, or did someone spike this morning’s coffee?”

Most of Misool Island is karst, and its coastal edges present a constantly-shifting array of “fantastical” shapes and surfaces.

In some places, much of the surface of the rapidly-eroding/dissolving karst is “naked”, as pictured here.

In others, as you will see in the next post, almost all of it is luxuriantly “clothed”.
