Ynapio island as it is commonly known to its people. Also known to other locals as Johnson Island. It is situated along the south coast of Manus Province, Papua New Guinea and surrounded by beautiful coral atolls.
It is an island, whose natural marine habitat is still a virgin just waiting to be explored and proclaim to the world for its pristine marine environment and island life.
thechapaus are privileged by birth as a traditional member of the island clan and family, hence in 2009 we spent our Christmas and New year exploring the beauty of Ynapio island and its people....

This cemetary beautification program is currently ongoing as a tribute to the forefathers of this island who have been barried there. This cemetary is highly respected as the central hub of this beautiful island and the sole reason of its continued existance in the midst of global warming. |
