The documentary "Welcome To Earth," co produced by National Geographic and Disney, has been released in China, with the first episode set on Tana Island in Vanuatu. Once a box office legend, "Emperor" Will Smith and his partner blind explorer Eric spent an entire episode taking us on a journey to appreciate the charm of the active volcano Isaur in Vanuatu and the mystery of the "Naked Tribe" at the foot of the volcano·

 

 

Mount Issuer

Mount Issuer is about 361 meters high and has been erupting for nearly 800 years without end. Mars rises and falls straight, and it is not easy to cause harm, so it is known as the "God's Flower". Pilots and sailors also regard Mount Isaur as a natural lighthouse in the Pacific Ocean.

 

Jackie Chan's movie "Chinese Zodiac" was also filmed here, and in the camera, Jackie Chan jumped directly from mid air towards the crater of Mount Issuer, which was thrilling.

 

 

Standing at the mouth of Mount Issuer, as if peering at the entrance to the underworld; Listen to the roar of volcanoes up close and feel the sound of the Earth.

 

 

The ancestors of Tana Island were filled with primitive worship of the volcano and often prayed to it, begging for blessings. It is said that the tribe no longer has a source of fire. When they go up the mountain to seek fire, the volcano will throw out the flint in a timely manner. Conversely, if someone who does not like the volcano or is sick goes up the mountain, they may be hit by the thrown flint. Later, Christianity was introduced and primitive tribes converted to Christianity, naming the holy mountain Jesus Isur, which later evolved into Yasur. This is the origin of the term 'Isur'.

 

 

On the way to Mount Issuer, you can also see the world's only volcano post office, where postcards are sent out with a spicy aroma of magma.

Naked Tribe

Although the indigenous tribes of Tana Island have gradually emerged from the jungle under the influence of foreign civilizations, the habits of the primitive tribes are still faintly visible. From them, you will deeply feel the concept of harmony between heaven and man. They work from sunrise to sunset, only covering their bodies with grass skirts, sitting on the ground, and their houses are also made of thatch. Their clothing, food, shelter, and transportation all come from the most authentic gifts of nature.


They communicate with nature through singing and dancing, while entertaining themselves in the most leisurely way possible. When you see the innocent smiles on children's faces, you will feel the purest and calmest souls in the world, and all anxiety will dissipate.

 

In fact, Vanuatu's charm is far more than just Tana Island. Its enchanting champagne beaches, clear blue waters, mysterious underwater world, and thrilling bungee jumping are all fascinating. With more and more people knowing about Vanuatu, the tourism industry here is also becoming increasingly popular, and investment prices are growing exponentially. As a country primarily focused on tourism, Vanuatu will embark on its best era.
