Our cover

Whenever anyone asks us about somewhere “different” to go in the South Pacific, we almost invariably end up suggest ing the New Hebrides. The New Hebrides is “different”, among other things, because it is ad ministered jointly by Britain and France; it is still unspoiled in the tourist sense of the word; it has a couple of constantly active volcanoes; it has the famous and unique land divers of Pentecost Island: and its 75,000 Melanesian inhabitants (such as those pictured) have their own colourful way of doing things.
