List of
mountains in Indonesia and East Timor
Indonesia is a nation of volcanoes. The earth's crust below the Indian Ocean, moving northeastward........, this great zone of subduction has produced a mighty chain of volcanoes running 3000km along the length of Sumatra, Java, Lesser Sunda Island. More volcanoes mark the Banda arc, and the tectonically complex region Halmahera, Sulawesi and Sangihe, running toward the Philippines. (Tom Simkin & Richard.S Fiske.,Krakatau 1883, 1987 p20)
