In March a team of scientists and filmmakers explored a remote Australian peninsula – a “lost world” that’s been cut off for millennia. They found three new species there, including a leaf-tailed gecko. Funded by the National Geographic Expeditions Council, the Cape York Biodiversity Expedition was led by Harvard University researcher and National Geographic photographer Tim Laman. “What’s really exciting about this expedition”, Laman told National Geographic Daily News, “is that in a place like Australia, which people think is fairly well explored, there are still places like Cape Melville where there are all these species to discover. There’s still a big world out there to explore”. (Photo by Tim Laman/National Geographic)
