Enchantment Of The South Seas Islands


In !982, on a National Geographic Society assignment to produce a chapter, text and photographs, for a book titled Secret Corners of the World, I spent two months exploring the six inhabited islands of the Marquesas Archipelago in French Polynesia.  Walking along the stunning coast of Ua Huka Island, which I had to myself, I chanced upon these dancers, who were rehearsing for the French Bastille Day celebration. But then, such occasions are what makes travel off the tourist map so exciting.
