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.

big islands and their surroundings, as listed
