A scavenger bobs around on a giant ocean of rubbish on one of the world's most polluted waterways.
The makeshift vessel carves a path through rubbish on the River Sentiong in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The river, which winds through the capital city, has been dubbed the 'River of Refuse'.

On 6 June 2007, the city administration introduced the Waterway (officially Angkutan Sungai), a new river boat service along the Ciliwung River.
However, because of the large amount of floating garbage which kept jamming the propeller, it is no longer in service.
