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.
