Peter Kuruvita finds an intriguing mix of excitement and relaxation on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu. This volcanic island is home to a steadfastly preserved traditional way of life, and its chiefs grant Peter the adrenaline-filled pleasure of cooking atop the slopes of its active volcano, Mount Yasur. Having entered at his own risk and emerging unscathed with a batch of fire-roasted seafood cakes, Peter soaks in some hot springs, helps prepare a traditional Melanesian feast, and discovers the calming effects of the famous kava root.
