Ambelau
Ambelau or Ambalau is a volcanic island in the Banda Sea within Maluku Islands of Indonesia. The island forms an administrative unit ((インドネシア語:Kecamatan Ambelau)) which belongs to the South Buru Regency ((インドネシア語:Kabupaten Buru Selatan)) of Maluku province ((インドネシア語:Provinsi Maluku)), Indonesia. The administrative center is Wailua, a settlement located at the south of the island . About half of the island's population is composed of indigenous Ambelau people who speak Ambelau language; the other half are mostly immigrants from the nearby Maluku Islands and Java.
== Geography and geology==
The island is located in the Banda Sea at the southern entrance to the strait Manipa, about 20 km south-east of the larger island of Buru. It has a relatively smooth oval shape with a minor extension in the south-eastern part and the maximum diameter of about 10 km.〔
The island is of volcanic origin, and is composed of Cenozoic sedimentary rocks. The relief is mostly mountainous, with the highest points at 608 m (Mt. Baula) and 559 m (Mt. Nona) in the western area.〔National Geospatial-intelligence Agency (2004) (Prostar Sailing Directions 2004 New Guinea Enroute ), ISBN 1-57785-569-8 p. 46〕 The island rises vertically from the sea, and flat parts are found only on the southern and eastern coasts. Much of the territory, especially in mountainous areas, is covered with wet tropical forests.〔 The island is located in a seismically active zone with frequent earthquakes; a significant recent earthquake occurred in August 2006.〔 Flora and fauna of the island are diverse and are similar to that of Buru. There are abundant coral reefs off the coast of Ambelau.〔
