At 4.15 pm on 11 October 2024 most members of our party entered the waters of a cave that is variously perceived as “natural wonder” or “pilgrimage site”.
Tomolo Cave (aka “Tomolol”) is on Misool, the southernmost of Raja Ampat’s four “main” islands.
Provided skilled guides are present, non-expert visitors can safely and easily swim right through Tomolo.
Eventually, multi-image posts will show and tell much more about Tomolo and other striking examples of what can happen when rain and sea “attack” Misool’s karst… along with some individually-tiny but collectively-powerful living organisms.
(an agglomeration of such organisms is visible in the lower right hand quarter of this post’s photo, These organisms’ role as shapers/carvers of karst caves has only recently been recognised by our own species)
