FEATURES
An island of bats, a forbidden cave and mysterious
currents are part of the experience as a
modern-day adventurer traces the route of
a 19th-century Russian explorer of New Guinea,
visiting the same sites by kayak to see how
much has changed in the intervening 123 years.
By Joel Kramer
A neophyte paddler enjoys a solo excursion
