Frontier Exploration 照片檔

Travelling along forestry tracks in search of gold during a dry spell in August 1999 in the heart of Borneo island, Indonesia. Newly created forestry tracks created to cut rainforest trees enable geologists to penetrate new frontiers to search for minerals, particularly gold. Here a team of geologists has taken a roadside rest to survey the upcoming countryside in this remote northwestern corner of Central Kalimantan province. With a newly created road network, recently inaccessible lands become easier for geologists to check for gold-bearing rock formations.
