Nusa Tenggara

Nusa Tenggara is the name for the chain of islands

which lies to the east of Bali. Including the islands of

Komodo, Lombok, Flores and Timor, Nusa Tenggara

spans a variety of landscapes, from tropical forests,

high volcanic lakes and dry savannahs. The largest

islands are Lombok and Sumbawa, with hundreds

of smaller islands between. East Nusa Tenggara has

566 islands. The long northern arch of the island

chain is the result of volcanic activity, whilst the

southern islands are formed from coral deposits.

Most of the eastern islands are arid, due to hot winds

blowing from the continent of Australia and sparsely

vegetated. The Western half of Nusa Tenggara is

moister and has denser vegetation. The Northern part

of the chain is known for deep lakes contained in the

craters of extinct volcanoes, the most famous of which

are the coloured mineral lakes on Gunung Keli Mutu

in Flores
