Tanna Island, Vanuatu

Tanna has achieved great anthropological fame for the John Frum cargo cult, which heralds an American G.I. as a god who distributes consumer goods to adherents. Tanna is also distinguished by lively Mount Yasur, a volcano that continuously releases lava from an easily accessible crater rim. The island is one of the most fertile in Vanuatu and produces kava, coffee, coconut, copra, and other fruits and vegetables.
