How to read this map
The Banda Sea covers about 470,000 km² (181,000 sq mi) and reaches a maximum depth of about 6,400 m (20,997 ft). Countries with a coast on the Banda Sea: Indonesia and East Timor.
The blue outline marks the Banda Sea as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Makassar, Palu, Samarinda, Gorontalo, Ambon, Kupang, Majene and Dili.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Banda Sea come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Banda Sea is, not a surveyed boundary.
