Shepherd Islands

From north to south, the principal islands are: Laika, Tongoa (Kuwaé), Buninga (Mbining), Ewose, Falea, Tongariki (Atong), Émaé (Mai), Makura (Emwae), Mataso (Matah), and Monument (Étarik).[2] The region includes two submarine volcanoes, Kuwae and Makura.The islands are principally in the outlines of the calderas of these volcanoes.Many people move to Port Vila to find work.[3] Most of the islands are inhabited by Melanesians like most of Vanuatu, but Émaé and Makura are Polynesian outliers.
