Spice Islands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Although the term Spice Islands is most commonly used to refer to the Maluku Islands (formerly the Moluccas), which lie on the equator, between the Celebes and the New Guinea islands (see: map of southeast Asia), it has also been used in reference to other islands known for their spice production, notably the Tanzanian group consisting of Zanzibar, Mafia Island and Pemba.
