Indonesians refer to the island as Kalimantan, meaning "burning weather island," or island with a very hot temperature, referring to its hot and humid tropical climate. Kalimantan is split between five provinces: West Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, North Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, and Central Kalimantan.
