Sansapor Airfield

Sansapor Airfield (also known as Mar Airfield) is a former World War II airfield located in the village of Werur, in Tambrauw Regency, Southwest Papua, Indonesia. The airfield was abandoned after the war and has almost been reclaimed by nature. Since 2014 the field is being rebuild to airport status.
