Not that remote, seems to be less than a 100km away from an airport, a short helicopter ride. Surely someone must have visited the site to figure out what's underneath the vegetation.





Can you land a helicopter in the middle of a dense rainforest? I suspect the terrain is more limiting than the distance

Lower a crew on a rope to clear an LZ, or drop a bomb that does the work.

“We found this unexplored site; our next step is to bomb the shit out of the area nearby so we can land a helo there to check if it’s sacred to someone…”

Do it away from the target and walk or clear road

I think it’s a protected area for the indigenous people and entry is prohibited.

It is almost certain this is an extinct volcano but has never been confirmed due to limited access.
