Vanuatu is a nation of small islands in the South Pacific.It is one of the smallest countries in the world.But for those interested in adventure sports,it's a perfect place.Vanuatu's islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world:volcano surfing and land diving.
Volcano Surfing
On Tanna Island,Yasur is one of Vanuatu's few active volcanoes.It erupts almost every day,sometimes several times a day.For centuries,both locals and tourists have climbed it to visit the top.Recently,people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano.In some ways,volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea,but in other ways,it's very different.A volcano surfer tries to escape the erupting volcano—without being hit by flying rocks!It's fast,fun,and dangerous.
Land Diving
Most people are familiar with bungee jumping,one of the most exciting and dangerous sports.But did you know that bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu almost 15 centuries ago?The activity called land diving is part of a special ceremony.A man ties two tree vines* around his feet.He then climbs a wooden tower around 20 to 30 meters high,crosses his arms,and jumps jye.aiadfirst.He tries to touch the earth with the top of his head—without breaking the vines or hitting the ground hard.Every spring,local boys and men still perform this amazing test of bravery.Women are not allowed to dive,but they support the divers by dancing and singing at the bottom of the tower.Many tourists come to the island every year to watch this ancient tradition.
