the western coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. Siberut (4,030 km²) is the
largest of the islands. The other major islands are Sipura, North Pagai
(Pagai Utara) and South Pagai (Pagai Selatan). The islands lie

The indigenous inhabitants of the islands are known as the Mentawai
people. The Mentawai Islands have become a noted destination for
