Indonesia location on the edges of the Pacific, Eurasian, and Australian tectonic plates makes it the site of numerous volcanoes and frequent earthquakes as its mentioned in Indonesia satellite map. Indonesia has at least 150 active volcanoes, including Krakatoa and Tambora, both famous for their devastating eruptions in the 19th century. The eruption of the Toba supervolcano, approximately 70,000 years ago, was one of the largest eruptions ever, and a global catastrophe. Recent disasters due to seismic activity include the 2004 tsunami that killed an estimated 167,736 in northern Sumatra, and the Yogyakarta earthquake in 2006. However, volcanic ash is a major contributor to the high agricultural fertility that has historically sustained the high population densities of Java and Bali.

The five main islands of Indonesia are Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo), Sulawesi, and Papua (the Indonesian section of New Guinea) as you can see in Indonesia satellite map. But the archipelago contains thousands of islands in the surrounding area. Altogether, Indonesia occupies an area of 8,063,601 square kilometers (3,113,374 sq mi). Indonesia is home to the world third-largest area of the rainforest after the Amazon and Africa Congo Basin. As part of the rainforest habitat, they serve as some of the highest biodiverse regions in the world.

Indonesia has one of the world longest coastlines. The southwestern islands are similar in that their shores tend to be steep, with few sandy beaches, while their northern and eastern coasts are mostly flat in terrain. Sulawesi is formed from four peninsulas, with the long, northernmost, Minahasa Peninsula curved around the Tomini Gulf, while the two southern arms enfold the Bone Gulf. Between the two is the Gulf of Todo as its shown in Indonesia satellite map. Kalimantan has a jagged coastline with numerous river deltas that empty into the South China Sea, Java Sea, Makassar Strait, and Celebes Sea. At the far side of the archipelago, the northwest region of Papua is known as the Bird Head Peninsula.
