SUMATRA Mandheling ''Takengon'' |
|
Sumatra, to the west of Java, is the sixth largest island in the world. Along its southwestern coast, a range of volcanic peaks rise to about 12,000 feet. The mountains slope eastward to a broad plain covered by dense rain forests and some farmland. Much of Sumatra’s eastern coast is swampy. Sumatra experiences a monsoon season, which is a constant seasonal wind, beginning in November and lasting until March, when the rains begin. Some parts of Sumatra can receive as much as 144 inches of rain during this monsoon season and during the year. |
