Vanuatu consists of 83 islands, of which "Maskelyne" may be a misnomer for the second largest, Malekula. Located in the South Pacific Ocean, the island is part of the Malamba Province of Vanuatu and covers an area of approximately 2,023 square kilometers, making it one of the most culturally diverse islands in Vanuatu, with traditional tribal practices and mystical rituals such as the "Dance of the Spirits". The island is characterized by diverse topography, tropical rainforests, dramatic cliffs in the east and fertile plains in the west, with major settlements such as Namarang and Rasana. The economy is based on agriculture, fishing and tourism, with dried coconut and vanilla being the main exports. Visitors can explore aboriginal villages, dive coral reefs and experience the unique South Pacific original culture.
