Blue Eyes People - Discover Indonesian Tribe in Buton Island

Blue Eyes People - Discover Indonesian Tribe in Buton Island | Indonesian Tribe With Beautiful Blue Eyes Photographed | Rare Electric Blue Eyes - Waardenburg Syndrome | Meet The Buton Tribe Of Indonesia 

An indigenous tribe on an Indonesian island who have uniquely piercing blue eyes due to a genetic fluke have been captured in a stunning set of photographs. The Buton people are from Indonesia's 19th largest island, Buton Island, which is located in the southeast Sulawesi region of Indonesia.

They are divided into several smaller tribes of which some have a rare condition known as Waardenburg Syndrome, which affects pigmentation. This leaves them with electric blue eyes, something that is extremely rare in Indonesia, where most people have dark hair and dark eyes. The Waardenburg syndrome is a hereditary genetic mutation that is estimated to be present in a some form in 1 in 42,000 people.

In addition to its sometimes startling effect on eye pigmentation, including causing eyes of different colours, it can also lead to a loss of hearing. The Buton tribe was photographed by Korchnoi Pasaribu, a geologist from the capital of Jakarta, Indonesia, during a visit to the island.
