Just south of Ternate, Tidore Island is also just “a dot on the map”, and was likewise “built” by its volcano.
Ternate Island and Tidore Island were once the centres of two rival sultanates.
Tidore’s big volcano – Mt Kie Matubu – dominates this post’s photo, which I took from Ternate’s eastern (Ternate City) shore.
Kie Matubu rises 1,730 metres above the sea – 15 metres higher than Ternate’s Mt Gamalama – and Tidore’s volcano is also the more “perfectly” proportioned.
