West Nusa Tenggara comprising Lombok and Sumbawa, while East Nusa Tenggara comprises Sumba, Flores, Timor and adjacent islands. The islands of Nusa Tenggara are formed by protruding peaks of a giant submarine mountain range that runs from Sumatra to Timor. The depth of water separating the islands of Nusa Tenggara is such that even at the height of Ice Ace, when the sea level was about 200 m lower, there were no land bridges between the islands.
