New Caledonia
The group writes: "Our mapping group chose to go to New Caledonia as it was both an area that no previous group had worked on, and a place with very unique geology. We spent 31 days in the mapping area, two of those days being dedicated to asking for land-use permission and 29 spent on mapping."
