Land-Diving In Vanuatu
The view from a bamboo tower used by young men to perform land dives with vines tied to their feet, in an initiation rite on Pentecost Island, Vanuatu, off the north-east coast of Australia, February 1974. The dives are being watched by a crowd of local people and visiting members of the British royal family during their visit to Vanuatu. Land diving is unique to the island, and is thought to be the origin of bungee jumping. (Photo by McCabe/Daily Express/Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
