The massive, meandering loops of Malaysia's longest river as it snakes through the dense Sibu hinterlands.

Vast stretches of untouched Borneo jungle, showing the incredible density of the island's green heart.
Hose Mountains
The distant, jagged peaks of the inland mountain ranges visible on exceptionally clear days.
Lambir Hills
