Four Corners: A Journey Into the Heart of Papua New Guinea
An island whose beauty is rivaled only by its danger, Papua New Guinea is often considered the last outpost of adventure for seasoned solo travelers. And yet, in 2001 Kira Salak, then only twenty-nine years old—made the amazing trek across this arduous physical and cultural terrain. Four Corners is Salak's chronicle of this amazing journey.

Proclaimed by Vogue magazine to be ''a kind of exploration classic,'' Four Corners hails from an inspiring woman whose travels and writing are accomplished with equal portions of passion, intensity and courage.
