Expedition New Guinea - The Crater of the Tree Kangaroos

It is one of the world's largest but most mysterious islands: New Guinea still holds unexplored primeval forests today. At the destination of an extraordinary expedition, jungle crocodiles lurk in murky rivers: Accompanied by an international team, German photographer Ulla Lohmann travels to an extinct volcano. During the second part of the trip, the scientists discover mammals as yet unknown living in the crater.
