The Indo-Pacific is the most consequential region in modern history.
Home to 60% of the world's population and half the earth's surface, the Indo-Pacific is so much more than sea and air. Southeast Asia's archipelagos form a bridge between continents - Australia & Asia, the thousands of islands of the Blue Pacific nations and the First, Second and Third Island Chains. This region contains the most rugged, distributed, and diverse terrain in the world: from hot, humid rainforests and low-lying coral atolls to arctic plateaus and mountain ranges.
