Lembata in the context of "Solor Archipelago"

The Alas Strait is a strait that separates Lombok and Sumbawa, two islands of Indonesia in West Nusa Tenggara province.

The strait was bridged by land until about 14,000 years before present when sea level rose to about 75 meters below present sea level,unlike Lombok Strait and Alor Strait which continued to be water gaps even during the Last Glacial Maximum, at each end of a 400-mile-long island including present-day Lombok, Sumbawa, Komodo, Flores, Solor, Adonara, and Lembata.

The Alor Archipelago (Indonesian: Kepulauan Alor; Indonesian pronunciation: [kəpuˌlawan ˈalɔr]) is part of Indonesia and is located in the eastern part of Lesser Sunda Islands.

Alor is the largest island in the archipelago which is located at its eastern end. Pantar is the second-largest island in the archipelago, situated between Alor and Lembata. Smaller islands in the group include Pura, Reta, Ternate (not to be confused with Ternate in the North Moluccas), and Treweng, all situated in the Pantar Strait between the two main islands, and Marisa, Rusa and Kambing off the west coast of Pantar in the Alor Strait. Administratively, the Alor archipelago forms its own regency (Indonesian: kabupaten) within the province of East Nusa Tenggara. The Regency is divided into seventeen districts and 158 villages, and has an area of 2,928.88 km and a population at the 2020 Census of 211,872; the official estimate as at mid 2022 was 216,626.

Alor Strait (also Alloo Strait) divides the Solor Archipelago from the Alor Archipelago, in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia. It lies mainly between the larger islands of Pantar and Lembata. The strait connects the western part of the Banda Sea in the north to the Savu Sea in the south.

Adonara (Indonesian pronunciation: [adoˈnara]) is an island in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia, located east of the larger island of Flores in the Solor Archipelago. Further to the east lies Lembata, formerly known as Lomblen, while to the south is Solor Island. Adonara is the highest of the islands of the archipelago, reaching an altitude of 1,659 metres, and it has an area of 529.75 km. It is situated administratively in the East Flores Regency of East Nusa Tenggara province.
