The island is highly mountainous, with some active volcanoes.
The highest peak on the island of Sulawesi is Ratenkombola, which is also known simply as Mario.
Sulawesi is known for its rainforests, which once covered the entire island until human activity led to mass deforestation.
A large number of the species are endemic to the island.
The island contains thirteen freshwater lakes, including the deepest lake, Matano, in Southeast Asia.
It has several remarkable prehistoric cave paintings depicting ancient hunts and animal life.
Seven major ethnic groups inhabit Sulawesi: the Toala, Toraja, Buginese, Makassarese, Minahasan, Mori, and Gorontalese.
