Welcome to Sulawesi Island - Indonesia! |
|
Such
astonishing diversity is partially a product of
Sulawesi’s tortured geography.
The island’s four outstretched "arms"
are in a sense all separate; they rise from a deep
seabed formed by contiguous folds in the earth’s
crust but are isolated from one another by steep
ravines, dense forests and forbidding peaks.
|
Unlike
many other Indonesian islands, only Sulawesi’s
northeastern and southwestern extremities (the Minahasa
and Makassar regions) are volcanic, and instead
of gently sloping contours and broad plains, most
of the island consists of jagged uplands and rugged
plateaus lying 500 meter (1,600 feet) or more above
sea level.
The
central peaks of Sulawesi reach as high as 3,400
meters (11,000 feet). Sulawesi features, steep mountains,
deep gorges, fast flowing rivers, blue highland
lakes, lush rainforests, Savannah’s and white-sand
beaches and a fascinating range of unusual flora
and fauna.
Many species of fauna found in Sulawesi can not
be found else where in the world, like the black
macaque, the babirusa wild boar, the anoa dwarf
buffalo, the eccentric maleo bird, the saucer-eyed
tarsier, and many beautiful and colorful butterflies. (source: www.asia-planet.net)
