Description

Unter Kukin is a hill on Sumbawa island, West Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia, at roughly 8.792°S 117.923°E — about 1,300 km east of Jakarta. Its name is a local Sumbawa toponym. According to digital-elevation-model (DEM) data compiled by the GeoNames/NGA-GNS geographic database, its summit stands about 118 m above sea level with a local prominence of about 80 m above the surrounding terrain, and a base width of about 0.98 km. The land is flat to the northwest and hilly to the southeast, with relatively lower ground to the north; the nearest higher point, Olat Pemalat (about 304 m), lies some 2.3 km to the southwest. Small bays and capes are common features in the surrounding region, indicating its near-coastal setting. The surroundings are almost entirely farmland with a moderate population density (about 80 people/km²). Its climate is savanna: mean temperature about 24 °C (hottest October ~25 °C, coldest June ~22 °C) and annual rainfall around 1,456 mm (wettest January ~294 mm, driest August ~19 mm). No hiking trail, tourism coverage, or specific local record could be found for this hill; this profile is compiled from open geographic databases (Wikidata, GeoNames-derived Cebuano Wikipedia, and OpenStreetMap), and its data limitations are stated plainly.
