Sulawesi

Looking in the archipelago of Indonesia, one island stands out among the others as special: Sulawesi. It stands out because of its interesting shape, consisting almost entirely of peninsulas. To me, it seems to be begging to be visited because of this interesting cartography.

I especially want to see the twelve-mile narrow point north of Palu, conveniently labeled on this map as "north of Palu". This appears to be a location very interesting. Not only does it barely keep the north "arm" of Sulawesi connected to the other three, but it is located directly on the earth's equator.

There is nothing in particular I am expecting to see there, but because of its unique position, I would like to be surprised while exploring that small area.
