Sepik, Major river system in East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea.
The Sepik River flows 1,100 kilometers from the Victor Emanuel Range through Papua New Guinea and a section of Indonesia before reaching the Bismarck Sea.
German colonizers named the river Kaiserin Augusta in 1885 when they established control over the region, maintaining this designation until Papua New Guinea's independence.
The river settlements house different tribes including the Arapesh, Iatmul, and Biwat peoples who create sculptures, masks, and decorated buildings with carved posts.
The waterway allows navigation by vessels with 4-meter drafts for 480 kilometers upstream and supports local transportation between isolated communities.
The river carries sediments that create a visible discoloration extending 32 kilometers into the Bismarck Sea from its 1.6-kilometer-wide mouth.
