Everything about The Batu Islands totally explained
The
Batu Islands are an archipelago of
Indonesia located in the
Indian Ocean off the west coast of
Sumatra, between
Nias and
Siberut. The three primary islands, of approximately equal size, are
Pini,
Tanahmasa, and
Tanahbala. There are forty-eight smaller islands, of which less than half are inhabited. The islands are governed as a part of
North Sumatra province. In
Indonesian and
Malay,
batu means
rock or
stone.
The people of the Batu Islands have had substantial interaction with the populations of Nias, to the north. The islands have occasionally been a destination for
slaves who escaped from Nias, and in the past decade have become a destination for surfing boat charters from
Padang, on the Sumatran mainland.
The
equator passes through the archipelago, north of Tanahmasa and south of Pini.
