How to spot Indonesia from satellite imagery
Indonesia spans a long island chain between the Indian and Pacific oceans. Sumatra and Java have elongated shapes, while Sulawesi branches into several peninsulas. In mountainous islands, ridges and volcanic cones can divide narrow coastal lowlands from the interior.
Compare the outlines of Java and Sulawesi. Then examine a coastal section to see how much of that island-scale shape remains visible after zooming in.
