Pentecost Island is part of the Vanuatu archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean. It is known for its stunning landscapes, including lush forests, mountains, and beautiful beaches. The island has a population of around 29,000 people, primarily from the Ni-Vanuatu ethnic group, who speak various local languages. The island is famous for the traditional custom of land diving, where men jump from tall wooden towers with vines tied to their ankles. This ritual, which takes place during the yam harvest season, is believed to ensure a good crop and is a significant cultural event for the local community.
