Aerial view of LAE—selected as the new capital of New Guinea, in place of Rabaul. The township (Guinea Airways’ establishment and aerodrome) is in the foreground. Immediately behind, leading away to the left, are the terraces, or plateaus, on which the administrative capital will be built. The terraces run back into the foothills of high, jungle-clad mountains. The Markham River enters the sea a few miles to the left.

Its current washes along the foreshore (seen in the foreground), and causes a good deal of erosion. Ships anchor out from the wharf, in the right-hand corner.
