Doom Island

About

Doom Island (Indonesian: Pulau Doom or Pulau Dum, pronounced "Dom") is a small island in Southwest Papua, Indonesia. It is administratively part of the city of Sorong, specifically the Sorong Islands District. The island served as an administrative center of Dutch East Indies administration in Papua, and continued to become the core of Sorong for some time before the city developed across the strait on the mainland of Papua.
