The small island of Mare (left-center) lies between Tidore (top-center) and Moti (bottom-center) volcanoes in this NASA Landsat image (with north to the top). Mare is one of a chain of volcanic islands off the western coast of Halmahera Island (right). The 2 x 3 km island is elongated in a NE-SW direction, and a large breached crater is located off the SW tip of the island. NASA Landsat 7 image (worldwind.arc.nasa.gov)
