Sunda Islands

Islands west of Maluku (Moluccas), in the Malay Archipelago, the greater number belonging to Indonesia. They are so named because they lie largely on the Indonesian extension of the Sunda continental shelf. The Greater Sundas include Borneo, Java (including the small island of Madura), Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Belitung. The Lesser Sundas (Indonesian Nusa Tenggara) are all Indonesian and include Bali, Lombok, Flores, Sumba, Sumbawa, and Timor.
