The island has been known by many names. It's one of the
islands claiming to be the inspiration for James Michener's
Bali Ha'i.
The island, which gets heavy rainfall, has a large volcano
with two sulphur lakes in its extinct crater. The adventurous
can take an all-day hike up the volcano and swim in the
warm-water lakes.
We recommend hiring a guide to avoid breaking local taboos
and getting lost in the fog. 28 mi/45 km east of Espiritu
Santo in northern Vanuatu.
