The second-largest nation in the South Pacific, the Solomon Islands are comprised of 922 landforms, 347 of them inhabited. A highly diverse population blends Micronesian, Polynesian, Melanesian, Papuan, and other cultures; the geography is just as diverse, with volcanoes, coral reefs, lagoons, rainforests, majestic mountains, and waterfalls covering the islands' surfaces. All this natural beauty makes the Solomon Islands great for hiking, SCUBA diving, snorkeling, swimming, boating, fishing, or just exploring the outdoors.
