Laut Island, Indonesia

Current as of August 19, 2024
​Laut Island is the northernmost point of Indonesia, approximately 210 miles from the mainland. It is a largely green pair of islands arranged Northeast to Southwest with few signs of manmade development. It appears to be a natural preserve with few visible roads or buildings. Location: 4°45'31"N 107°52’26”E. It’s length is 10.2 miles.  Satellite Imagery is 2/20/2023.

This is a lush, green island with multiple Indonesian centers of development. We see long piers, berms and ports to help fisherman and commerce in and out of the island, and a well developed road system around and across the island. There is a hospital on the southern end of the island.
​
Largely green and undeveloped, we do see some clearing and farming areas, along with what appears to be natural forests. This looks like an ideal location to take it easy, find nature, but still keep the safety and comforts of civilization. We do not see an airport on the island. We see a label of “Border Republic of Indonesia” so this is likely the Northernmost point of Indonesia.
