Vanuatu. A collection of islands in an area of the South Pacific Ocean called Melanesia. .
I’m still island hopping this week, working my way around the countries of the South Pacific. Vanuatu is an incredible place full of indigenous culture, steaming volcanoes and one death defying tradition...

On the island of Pentecost the local people build huge wooden structures, attach themselves to ropes and fling themselves off the top!! Much like the more modern bungee jump, land diving or Nagol is the true test of a man’s strength and is believed that if his head slightly touches the floor as he falls then that years Yam harvest will be prosperous!
