Indonesian Geography: A Spectacular Journey

Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic country with the most diverse landscape. Spread as the "Equatorial Emerald", this country stores extraordinary geological wonders.

Pacific Ring of Fire

Indonesia is home to 127 active volcanoes. Although challenging, this volcanism is what fertilizes Nusantara's land, creating the world's most productive agricultural land, especially in Java and Bali.

Wallace and Weber Lines

Established by Alfred Russel Wallace, this imaginary line separates Asian fauna (West) from Australian fauna (East), making Indonesia the planet's most unique biological transition zone.

Tropical Rainforests

Kalimantan, Sumatra, and Papua store the world's third largest tropical rainforest, acting as the world's lungs and fortress of global biodiversity.

Coral Triangle

Raja Ampat and Bunaken are the centers of the world's Coral Triangle, housing more than 75% of coral reef species on earth.

Altitude Extremes

From eternal snow at Puncak Jaya Papua (4,884 masl) to the depth of Java Trench (7,700 m), Indonesian geography is a study of extreme and astonishing contrasts.
