Extractions: Vanuatu is a 'Y' shaped archipelago that comprises 80 islands. It is located 2,172 kilometers (1,303 mi.) northeast of Sydney and 5,750 kilometers (3,450 mi.) southwest of Honolulu. Fiji lies to the east, New Caledonia to the south, and the Solomon Islands to the northwest, all within the area of the South Pacific called Melanesia. The two largest islands, Espiritu Santo (or Santo) and Malakula, account for nearly one-half of the total land area. They are volcanic, with sharp mountain peaks, plateaus, and lowlands. The last volcanic eruption was in 1945. The larger islands of the remaining half also are volcanic but are overlaid with limestone formations; the smaller ones are coral and limestone. Rainfall averages about 2,360 millimeters (94 in.) per year but can be as high as 4,000 millimeters (160 in.) in the northern islands.
Extractions: Bob Starkgraf Background: The British and French, who settled the New Hebrides in the 19th century, agreed in 1906 to an Anglo-French Condominium, which administered the islands until independence in 1980.

Extractions: New Hebrides, this island group was rechristened Vanuatu, on July 30th, 1980, the day it achieved political independence and became a Republic, with an elected Parliament along the lines of the Westminster system and a Council of Chiefs to mark its ties with custom and tradition. The dual English and French influence inherited from the Condominium enhances the country's cultural diversity and provides a good basis for economic development and tourism. The country is made up of some 80 islands in the shape of a Y on a north-westerly slant. The northernmost islands, the Torres group, are about 900 km from Aneityum at the southern tip with the whole group covering a land mass of 12,189 km2 and an ocean area of 450,000 km2. Vanuatu consists of a young chain of rugged volcanic islands, rising high out of the sea and mountainous. Being located right on the Pacific Rim of Fire, on the subduction zone of two tectonic plates, Vanuatu is often subject to earthquakes.
