Sulawesi, formerly known as Celebes (/slbiz/ or /slibiz/), is an

island in Indonesia. One of the four Greater Sunda Islands, and the
world's eleventh-largest island, it is situated between Borneo and the
Maluku Islands. In Indonesia, only Sumatra, Borneo and Papua are
larger in territory, and only Java and Sumatra have larger populations.
Sulawesi comprises four peninsulas: the northern Minahasa Peninsula;
the East Peninsula; the South Peninsula; and the South-east Peninsula.
Three gulfs separate these peninsulas: the Gulf of Tomini between
northern Minahasa peninsula and East Peninsula; the Tolo Gulf between
East and Southeast Peninsula; and the Bone Gulf between the South
and Southeast Peninsula. The Strait of Makassar runs along the western
side of the island and separates the island from Borneo.
