Things worth knowing
- It is the world's largest archipelago, a chain of thousands of islands strung across three time zones along the equator.
- Sitting on the Pacific Ring of Fire, it has more active volcanoes than any other country, and the 1815 eruption of Tambora cooled the whole planet into a 'year without a summer'.
- It is the only country where the Komodo dragon, the largest living lizard, still roams wild, on a handful of rugged islands in its eastern sea.
