Tabwemasana mount
The mount Tabwemasana is the culminating point of the island of Espiritu Santo and of the islands of the Vanuatu, with 1875 meters.
Tabwemasana étymologiquement means mountain at two tops , of tabwe or tawa which means mountain , and masana which means two points in the languages of the interior of the island. Indeed, the Tabwemasana mount is divided into two tops, which at one time would have formed only one top but which, by the action of erosion, would have been divided into two. The two tops are respectively called “male mount” and “mount female”. According to the local beliefs, the two mounts would meet the night to embrace itself.
Tabwemasana is one of the tops of the chain which skirts the western part of the island, the course Cumberland, in the extreme western north, until the course Lisbon in the western south.
