Papua New Guinea gathers over 600 islands, the main ones being New Britain and New Ireland in the Bismarck archipelago. The Highlands, the main part of the country, cover the eastern half of the world's largest island after Greenland. In the North of the island, they consist of mountainous and accidented relief stretching along a range of active volcanoes. The coastal plains essentially consist of mangroves and marshlands.
