Indonesia Information
Indonesia is a large archipelago in Southeast
Asia that straddles the Equator between the
Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. While it
has land borders with Malaysia to the north
as well as East Timor and Papua New Guinea to
the east, it also neighbors Australia to the
south, and Palau, the Philippines, Vietnam,
Singapore, and Thailand to the north, India
to the northwest.
Indonesia is almost unimaginably vast. There
are 18 110 islands in Indonesia and 108 000
kilometres of beaches in Indonesia. The distance
between Aceh and Papua is more than 4 000 kilometres
(2500 miles), comparable to the distance between
New York and San Fransisco. There are more than
400 volcanoes in Indonesia. Only 130 volcanoes
are considered active volcanoes. There are many
undersea volcanoes in Indonesia. Papua is the
second largest island in the world.
Provinces are usually grouped under main big
islands and their surroundings, as listed below:
Sumatra (and the Riau
Islands, Bangka and Belitung)
Wild and rugged, the 6th largest island in
the world has a great natural wealth.
Kalimantan (Borneo)
Uncharted jungles, mighty rivers, home of
the orangutan, a paradise for the adventurer.
Java (and Madura)
The country's heartland, big cities including
the capital Jakarta,
and a lot of people packed on a not-so-big
island. Also features the cultural treasures
of Yogyakarta, Borobudur and Prambanan.
Sulawesi (Celebes)
Strangely shaped, this island houses a diversity
of societies and some spectacular scenery.
Nusa Tenggara (Bali,
Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, Komodo and West Timor)
Also known as the Lesser Sunda Islands, the
"Southeast Islands" contain scores
of ethnic groups, languages and religions.
Maluku (Moluccas)
The historic Spice Islands, largely unexplored
and almost unknown to the outside world.
Irian Jaya (Papua)
The western half of the island of New Guinea,
with mountains, forests, swamps, an almost
impenetrable wilderness in one of the remotest
places on earth.
