Only 36 km long and 20 km wide, this island home o+ the Komodo dragon is nestled in between Sumbawa and Flores. The giant lizards of Komodo were only a myth until the turn of the century when a few pearl fishermen were forced to land here one night in a storm. A desolate inhospitable island with only one mountain on it, Gunung Arab (Sataliso), which no native will climb believing that it's possessed with evil spirits and their reptile companions, the nagas. The few fishing families on Komodo today are descendants of convicts sent here from Flores as punishment. These convict colonists and their women were scared shitless on this island of thirst, crawling with 4-legged monsters, and built their kampung on posts as near to the sea as possible. Today they fish from outriggers, it being impossible to grow rice (too dry). the land: Nearly all the island's 76,601 arid acres are covered in coarse grassy slopes, stunted scrub bush, volcanic ridges, and lontar palms. Cave bats hover in black hollowed cliffs and the island swarms with snakes. In places the land rises 600 m from the sea. climate: The torrential monsoon season is Nov -Mar., and beginning in April through the rest of the year it's scorching hot.
