Palaui Island is Off-Limits. Nationalism or Colonialism?

Palaui Island is an enchanted island to which pictures I saw made me eager to know more of this island. However, this island has no mapping data at all. And because of that, Schadow1 Expeditions has chosen this island to be the focus of our mapping expedition last March 27, 2013. As expected, this island is captivating enough that even the reality TV show, Survivor, chose this island to be its home for their 27th season. Due this, Palaui island will be closed to visitors.

Palaui is an island located just right at the northeastern tip of Luzon. Protected by a Presidential Proclamation as a natural reserve of the country, its resources are maintained and one can expect that here, nature is more supreme than technology. The island features white beaches. forests, rolling mountains not exceeding 300 MASL, and grazelands. Being located at Balintang Channel where the Pacific Ocean meets the West Philippine Sea, the shores and its waves are magnificent.
