Marquesans | Hakahau, Mount Oave, Ua Pou, Marquesas Islands | French Polynesia, 2016
High up in the jungle of Ua Pou are several gigantic volcanic basalt pillars. The largest of them all is the Poumaka Tower, named for the legendary warrior Poumaka, who is said to have ruthlessly destroyed the valley of Pou. At around 1,000 metres, it holds great allure for rock climbers from around the world.
