Ternate is an island in the Maluku Islands of eastern Indonesia. It is located off the west coast of the larger island of Halmahera. Like its neighbouring island, Tidore, Ternate is a visually dramatic cone-shaped island. The main city of Kota Ternate is located on the foot of the large volcano Gamalama, offering lovely views of neighboring islands but is mainly useful as a base for exploring North Maluku. Remnants of the once powerful Ternate kingdom and its successful clove trade can still be seen today by visiting the many partly restored forts and museums.
