Tabwemasana
Tabwemasana is Vanuatu's highest peak, rising from untouched interior rainforest on west-central Espiritu Santo. Local tradition describes its twin summits as a male and female pair said to embrace at night, and its upper slopes host at least one tree species, Metrosideros tabwemasanaensis, found nowhere else on Earth. Reaching the top remains a serious undertaking — access is by boat followed by a multi-day guided trek — and fewer than half a dozen people summit in a typical year.
