    Nagol – Land Diving at Pentecost Island, Vanuatu

    Nagol goes back nearly 15 centuries, long before the world’s first commercial bungy operation opened. It involves local men and boys on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu who jump from a manmade tower with a vine secured around their legs, aiming to touch the ground with their shoulders. An annual ritual between April and June each year.
