On the wall



The island
Nias Island lies in the Indian Ocean off the west coast of Sumatra, part of a chain of islands running parallel to the mainland. It is long, running northwest to southeast, with a hilly interior crossed by rivers and covered in forest and plantations. Most roads follow the coasts. The largest town, Gunungsitoli, is on the northeast coast.
Nias is known for a strong megalithic tradition, with stone monuments and large traditional houses in southern villages such as Bawömataluo. Stone jumping, in which young men leap over a tall stone wall, is one of the island's best-known customs. A powerful earthquake in 2005 caused severe damage on the island.
A Nias Island map poster brings out the island's long, slightly irregular outline, the coastal roads and the quieter interior. In the south, Lagundri Bay and Sorake beach are known among surfers for their reliable waves. They form a clear curve in the coastline near the town of Teluk Dalam.
The main town lies on the northeast coast, where the island's densest streets meet the sea. Most of the island's roads fan out from here.
This curved bay on the southern coast, well known among surfers, bends inward near Teluk Dalam. It gives the southern tip a clean, recognisable arc.
The interior is hilly and forested, with rivers and scattered villages linked by smaller roads. On the poster it forms a lighter, quieter band between the busier coasts.

Why Nias Island
Nias suits surfers who spent weeks at Lagundri, people drawn to its traditional architecture, and families from the island who now live elsewhere. Its long outline works in both portrait and landscape frames.
Personalise the title and subtitle, perhaps with a village name or a year, and keep the coordinates line. There are five styles, from Classic black & white to Noir and Sand. Buy it as HD files for $9 or as a printed poster.
