Nickel Mine Visit (Halmahera)

10 Feb

Wedabay is on Halmahera the largest island in the Maluku Islands. Halmahera is the site of several mining projects where my employer operates medical facilities.

It is part of the North Maluku province of Indonesia.  Halmahera’s fortunes have long been closely tied to those of the smaller islands of Ternate and Tidore, both off its west coast. These islands were both the sites of major kingdoms in the era before Dutch East India Company colonized the entire archipelago. During World War II, Halmahera was the site of a Japanese military base at Kao Bay.
