Great link Ron, there is still so much we haven't discovered here on Earth.

I wonder how much has been lost before it was even discovered.

Nice to see life thriving in those regions untouched by man

I worked at Ok Tedi in PNG a few years ago, and every Sunday I would take off into the bush. There was a good walk just out of town - vertically upwards, but, yes, what fabulous stuff I saw, lots of funny looking plants with vibrant coloured fruit, vines, and burbling streams and waterfalls with crystal clear water. BEAUT!!
