Mount Tabwemasana, Mountain summit in Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu.

Mount Tabwemasana reaches an elevation of 1,879 meters, forming two distinct peaks along the western coast of Espiritu Santo island.

English zoologist John R. Baker first climbed the mountain in 1922 and created detailed maps published in The Geographical Journal in 1929.

The mountain's dual peaks represent male and female entities in local traditions, with stories of their nightly encounters passed through generations.

Access to Mount Tabwemasana requires boat transportation from Tasiriki to Kerepua village, followed by river crossing and steep mountain ascent.

Less than six people reach the summit annually, making it one of the most isolated climbing destinations in the Pacific region.
