Sangihe Islands, Volcanic archipelago in North Sulawesi, Indonesia
The Sangihe Islands extend northward from Celebes for 260 kilometers, comprising Sangihe, Siau, Tahulandang, and Biaro islands along with numerous islets.
Dutch colonial administration gained control of the Sangihe Islands in 1677, with the territory becoming part of Indonesia following independence from the Netherlands in 1945.
The inhabitants of Sangihe Islands communicate in the Sangir language, an Austronesian language that extends to northern Sulawesi and parts of the Philippines.
The regional capital Tahuna, located on Sangihe Island's west coast, contains Naha Airport and serves as the primary administrative center for the archipelago.
Mount Awu, reaching 1,320 meters, stands as an active volcano on Sangihe Island, influencing the fertile agricultural landscape of the surrounding region.
