Second in a series of videos made in 1992 while travelling from west to east through the vast spread of 13,677 islands which stretch along the equator for 5,200 km between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, These wonderfully fertile volcanic islands, comprising the huge republic of Indonesia, have an area which is more than one million square kilometres larger than the USA!
"Beyond Medan" travels from Medan (shown in the first of the Sumatra series) into the high mountains of central Sumatra to explore huge Lake Toba, which was formed way back when two gigantic volcanic explosions blew four huge mountains into an enormous cloud of dust which turned day into night, leaving today a lake with a surface area of 1707 square kilometres and up to 450 metres deep - the largest in SE Asia.
It is the home of the unique Toba Batak people and is the main focus of this video - a truly amazing place with wonderful industrious people and quite astonishing customs. Please enjoy the amazing sights and unique culture of the Toba Bataks and also that of the remarkable matrilinear Minangkabar ethnicity visited enroute to Lake Toba. These exceptional people really prove that it IS a wonderful world out there just waiting to be explored!!.
