    Geography of Papua New Guinea

    Geographical features of Papua New Guinea

    The geography of Papua New Guinea describes the eastern half of the island of New Guinea, the islands of New Ireland, New Britain and Bougainville, and smaller nearby islands. Together these make up the nation of Papua New Guinea in tropical Oceania, located in the western edge of the Pacific Ocean. Papua New Guinea is largely mountainous, and much of it is covered with tropical rainforest. The New Guinea Highlands run the length of New Guinea, and the highest areas receive snowfall—a rarity in the tropics. Within Papua New Guinea Mount Wilhelm is the highest peak, at 4,509 m. There are several major rivers, notably the Sepik River, which is 1,126 km long, which winds through lowland swamp plains to the north coast, and the Fly River at 1,050 km in length, which flows through one of the largest swamplands in the world to the south coast.
