Anambas Islands, Remote archipelago in Riau Islands, Indonesia

The Anambas Islands comprise 255 scattered islands across 46,664 square kilometers of water, with Tarempa on Siantan Island serving as the administrative center.

The establishment of oil exploration facilities on Matak Island marked the beginning of natural gas extraction, leading to significant exports to Singapore and Malaysia.

Local inhabitants of the Anambas Islands maintain traditional fishing practices passed through generations, forming the backbone of their economic activities.

Transportation to the islands requires either an 18-hour sea journey from Batam or flights to Natuna Airport followed by ground and sea transfers.

The waters surrounding Anambas Islands contain two notable shipwrecks, Seven Skies and Igara, which now function as artificial reefs for marine life.
