THE GHOST ISLAND

The Ghost Island of Avaha, in the Lord Howe Atoll of Malaita Out-layers are becoming the first climate change refugees in the country.

They have abandoned their island to a bigger island still within the Lord Howe atoll, but the question they keep pondering upon is:

"We are living in an atoll, jumping from island to island, looking for shelter years after years. Where else can we escape the rising tide," said Chief Peter Kalali of Pelau.
