About Indonesia

Indonesia sprawls across the equator between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, a vast Southeast Asian archipelago of more than 17,000 islands. From the capital, Jakarta, on the island of Java, the nation spans rainforests, coral reefs, and scores of volcanoes along the Ring of Fire. Home to hundreds of ethnic groups, its national motto — 'Unity in Diversity' — captures a country of remarkable cultural breadth.

• ·The Komodo dragon, the world's largest lizard, lives in the wild only on a handful of Indonesian islands.
• ·The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora on the island of Sumbawa was the largest in recorded history, triggering 1816's 'Year Without a Summer.'
