Aru is covered by a mix of [[Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests|tropical moist broadleaf forests]], [[savanna]], and [[mangroves]]. The islands lie on the [[Australia-New Guinea]] [[continental shelf]], and were connected to Australia and New Guinea by land when sea levels were lower during the [[ice age]]s.
