Indonesia is often referred as a string of emeralds in the equator. It is the world's largest archipelago, a name which aptly represents its 17,000 islands which span more than 5000 km (3,200 miles) from Sabang in northern Sumatra to Merauke in Papua. Indonesia has population of more than 220 million, scatterd over a land area of some 2 millions square kilometers. Lying across a region of immense volcanic activity, Indonesia has some 400 volcanoes, with at least 70 still active.

There are five major islands in this enormous chain. The largest landmasses consist of Sumatra, Java, Borneo (Kalimantan), Celebes (Sulawesi) and Papua. The smaller islands fall into two main groups, the Molluccas to the northeast and the lesser Sunda chain east of Bali.
