Kisar

Kisar, also known as Yotowawa, is a small island in the Southwestern Moluccas in Indonesia, located to the northeast of Timor Island. Most of the island is included within the Southernmost Islands District (Kecamatan Pulau Pulau Terselatan) within the Southwest Islands Regency of Maluku Province. The District previously also includes the larger (but less populated) Romang Island further north, but this with its own outliers was subsequently split off to form its own district (Kecamatan Kepulauan Romang). The rest of the island forms the North Kisar District (Kecamatan Kisar Utara) within the regency. It is one of the 92 officially listed outlying islands of Indonesia. The principal town is Wonreli, with 6,652 inhabitants at the 2010 Census.
