Images from a journey by sea with Heritage Expeditions northwards from Christchurch, New Zealand, north through the Solomon Islands to the New Ireland Province of Papua New Guinea. We landed on the remote Rennell and Makira (San Cristobal) Islands for birdwatching excursions. The people of Rennell are Polynesian, those of Makira are Melanesian as are the majority of Solomon Islanders. At Anuta on the western tip of Makira, the village chief and his people staged a reception to welcome us onto their lands.
These images were captured in RAW format with Nikon D300 and represent a selection of those available for licensing.
