The province of North Sumatra stretches across the island of
Sumatra between the
Indian Ocean and the
Strait Malacca . It borders
Aceh province on the northwest and
Riau and
West Sumatra provinces on the southeast. It has an area of 70787 km². The province contains a broad, low plain along the Strait of Malacca coast; the provincial capital, Medan, is located here. In the south and west, the land rises to the mountain range that runs the length of Sumatra; the mountains here are dominated by

Caldera of an ancient volcano. Several large islands in the
