Botiangin Cape

Botiangin Cape lies in the waters associated with Manus and the Admiralty Islands north of New Guinea. Manus, the largest island of the group, has forested uplands and a deeply indented coast.

Coastal communities in the wider island region used sea routes between settlements, with Manus languages belonging to the Austronesian family. The Spanish voyage of Álvaro de Saavedra reached the Admiralty Islands in 1528.
