The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are a few specks of land in the Bay of Bengal that, until this week, were comparatively little-known. Then came news that a US missionary had been killed by an uncontacted indigenous tribe – a status that the Indian government has worked hard to maintain – as he tried to land at their protected island. Other Andaman locations are not off-limits to the modern world however, as shown by this Quartz report on the remarkable lengths that Amazon is going to to deliver packages to its capital, Port Blair.
