Papua and his entourage arcane

I browsed the adjective "remote" in the dictionary of the RAE and contained three meanings. The first is referred to the distance of the object qualifies, the second to the likelihood of the event described and the last is related to oblivion. La “remota” provincia “West Papua”, perfectly fulfills the three meanings.

I browsed the adjective "remote" in the dictionary of the RAE. and contained three meanings. The first is referred to the distance of the object qualifies, the second to the likelihood of the event described and the last is related to oblivion. That said, in easternmost Indonesia, la “remota” provincia “West Papua”, perfectly fulfills the three meanings that the dictionary offers infallible; is enormous distance that separates us from it, and an all but forgotten as unlikely.

You will think that "West Papua" and Spain barely have anything to do with each other but that is not entirely true.. Charles I, who used the motto "PLUS ULTRA" in his coat of arms and who today inherits the shield of our flag, domino, along the Portuguese, that "remote" region, until the Dutch seized us during the War 80 years.

Indonesia is an independent and heterogeneous, composed of more than 17500 islands. I think his name is very successful because "Indus" is Latin for India, and "Nesos" Greek island. That living near 245 million people, most Muslims. “Seabird´s Head”, English bird-headed, is a peninsula that lies west of the island of Papua, one of these 17500, and so named because its drawing on a map is shaped like a bird's head. I is a chicken, so the rebautizaría as "Chicken's Head", but my ego does not reach that limit, leave it as is.

La “remota” provincia “West Papua”, perfectly fulfills the three meanings that the dictionary offers infallible; is enormous distance that separates us from it, and an all but forgotten as unlikely.

Today these seas groove aboard a "Phinisi", Indonesian word describing a type of boat load of locally made, called Seahorse. It is beautifully restored to house 12 passengers and 7 crew. It is blue like the sea that is sailing and white as the clouds that protect us from an equatorial sun and inclement. The owner is Txus, a Bilbao, born in Lekeitio, a charming fishing village in Biscay, one day he discovered that his life was best if "anchored" to this part of the local language lugar.Habla, Indonesian, with the fluency characteristic of a language, so part of being my new friend Txus, I have no doubt, It is in these latitudes. He explained to me on a map on the bridge that at the peak of the alleged bird-Peninsula, Raja Ampat is, which translated into our language means "Four Kings": Waigeo, is the northern monarch, Y Batanta Salawati, Their Majesties central and Misool, the southern.

I came with friends to dive and in Seahorse we found a crew of 7 persons unknown to all of us and two English, “David and Debbi”, recognized underwater photographers. First of all I would like to explain that diving is the closest thing there is to feel the weightlessness of space without spending a fortune on it. You control the amount of air in your BCD and a few more parameters to not walk up or down, but to get in neutral flotes deep that interests you, while breathing through a regulator connected to an air bottle. If to this we add an ocean current in your favor, then I'll tell you the closest thing to flying.

Now imagine yourself in that situation so alien to our everyday life and add it to the world's best creator and designer who never knew and that is Nature, if you can so you are about to know the taste of a trip to Raja Ampat.

I sense that not only are islands to explore, but in them there caves arcane, Gothic with their cameras, Patients waiting for someone to dare to reveal their secrets.

Formed mainly by the "Four Kings", his court and entourage made up of hundreds of islets and rocks that emerge on the sea surface rough and have fictional corners and bays where you can accurately imagine a pirate ship hiding his precious treasure. Wild because all the islands are of karst model, namely, made of limestone. Who knows what I'm talking about, have in your mind the image of rock formations shaped by the inexorable erosion of water and wind combined, have been sculpting in time thousands of knives and hundreds of nooks. These are visible when the forest and the ocean is given a respite of a few meters, Raja Ampat although both usually go hand in hand. So I suspect that not only are islands to explore, but in them there caves arcane, Gothic with their cameras, Patients waiting for someone to dare to reveal their secrets.

For twelve days aboard the great love of Txus, share not only commonplace but past experiences, future projects and current underwater experiences. With every dive we become interim analysts a different world. Every time we turn on the aluminum dinghy, as a satellite to help us get to where the Seahorse is not enough by her draft, we press back between marine biology books in the library Txus have in your living room while enthusiastic rush by us to each other by telling our own adventure. The shark was a, multicolored fish stalked another, the majestic coral prevented by their bite agile approach, the giant manta ray, spherical bank barracudas sighted, the game table made of hard coral, the sluggishness with which all the Napoleon, the nursery of white tip sharks, Wonder octopus, the endemic shark walker ...

If you go into the deep blue find forests of trees range, immense combs millimeter perforated over its entire surface, Flowers on the size of a human.

In this pristine place, find friendly relations, perhaps love, between players where other sites would not be made or if. I told you jungle and ocean go together, but I told you that some corners of this unique paradise are under the custody of towering stone giants that prevent the conquest of many islands beyond what the pulverized coral, White sand not, mark as beach. Corals and mangroves talks departen who gets what place. The first are the support, and arms of the latter submerged, the haven of unique biodiversity in the undersea world who live near the surface. Because if you go into the deep blue, always with reference to any reef, find whole forests of trees range, immense combs millimeter perforated over its entire surface, Flowers on the size of a human, sharp surfaces which may well be the ideal resting place for a fakir, rigid shrubs, branches, many branches, some with what our world would call sheets, other, that have lapsed, show the shame of what later in the year will be lush, and all this made up of choral textures, shapes and colors especially, both simple and combined. Almost every coral is a tiny crab, the sea a pony, a shrimp or small fish to play as a "complementary" , so if you press that published in Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, Donatella Versace or, were in this or other divers life in Raja Ampat and found their sources of inspiration, I would have known in advance. So I think of James Cameron and his eccentric Avatar.

In this fantasy world where things fly and are difficult to explain, understand perfectly what he was successful the scientific community when he discovered that all life on Earth emerged from the oceans. The incalculable variety you find in a place like this, it is certainly because we have hundreds of millions of years ahead in the evolution of life, and this testifies to the exuberance "real" this peculiar archipelago monarchical.
