Mare Island (Indonesia)

Island in North Maluku, Indonesia


Mare (in Dutch Pottebackers) is a small volcanic island at the west side of Halmahera island, Indonesia. The 2 × 3 km island is part of the volcanic arc chain of Halmahera volcanoes.[1] Historically, once discovered by the modern Europeans in the late 17th century (and possibly sooner), the Europeans (i.e. Dutch or Spanish), had come to colonize the people and introduce the system of Mercantilism.
