Ombai Strait

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ombai Strait (Indonesian: Selat Ombai) is the strait which separates the Alor Archipelago from the islands of Wetar, Atauro, and Timor in the Lesser Sunda Islands. Wetar, the Alor Archipelago, and the western part of Timor are part of the province of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, while Atauro and the eastern part of Timor comprise the nation of East Timor.

The strait connects the Banda Sea in the north to the Savu Sea to the southwest.
