LOCATION OF BALI

Bali, for all its influence on art, myth and fantasy, is a relatively small
island measuring 145 kilometers (90 miles) long and 80 kilometers (50
miles) wide. It lies 8‹south of the equator, in the middle of the Indonesia
archipelago. It is one of 13,676 islands that punctuate tropical seas from
Sumatra in the northwest to Irian Jaya. Which shares its border with
Papua New Guinea in the east. Following Java, Bali is the second most
densely populated of Indonesia's 30 provinces, with 2,7 people. It has
about 500 people per square kilometer (half a square mile). Geologists
believe that during the ice ages Bali was linked to Java to the west and to
Lombok to the east; one theory suggest that shifting plates in the ocean
floor split the islands apart. Balinese legend has it that Bali and Java were
divided by the hand of powerful Javanese priest who banished a
recalcitrant son to Bali and then drew his finger across the sands which
linked the islands. The shallow strait which separates Java and Bali would
indicate the mythical father's reluctance to lose his son as it is less than
three kilometers (two miles) at its widest point and 60 meters (200 feet)
at its narrowest. The 19th-century naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, who
spent years traveling through the archipelago, postulated in his book The
Malay Archipelago that Bali was the easternmost Indonesian island with
flora and fauna that could properly be classified with those of Asia.
Drawing what came to be called the Wallace line through the deep waters
separating Bali from Lombok, he noted that the tropical jungles, monkeys
and tigers of Asia ended in Bali.
