After seeing "Sanctum"...I was interested in the real story of cave exploration in Papua New Guinea. And I have been reading "Beneath the Cloud Forests" by Howard Beck. It is a history of cave exploration in Papua New Guinea. Numerous expeditions were lured to PNG after seeing large "mega dolines" on aerial photographs taken by companies doing oil and mineral explorations.
I wondered if these "mega dolines" would be visible on Google Earth...and sure enough...have found a few. Most of the aerials used by Google Earth for PNG are too low resolution (or the mountains are too obscured by cloud cover) to be of much use. But some of the mega dolines show up anyway. I have been looking for Nare. But the resolution appears to low to see the entrance. Here are a few that I have found: Minye: Latitude: 5°14'35.30"S Longitude:151°30'16.50"E Kururu: Latitude: 5°49'7.41"S Longitude:151° 3'59.44"E Unidentified Hole?: Latitude: 4°59'2.04"S Longitude:142°30'24.14"E
