  • Taumako es la mayor de las islas Duff. La isla, de 5,7 km de longitud, tiene unas costas empinadas y con fuerte pendiente, llegando a alcanzar los 400 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Está compuesta de lavas basálticas y piroclasticas como el resto de las islas del archipiélago. Los habitantes de las islas Duff son polinesios, y su lenguaje, el , forma parte de la rama de las , dentro de las lenguas polinesias. En las islas Duff viven unas 439 personas (según el censo de 1999). Las islas fueron colonizadas por los lapitas sobre el año 900 a. C. A estos les siguieron los colonos melanesios, y finalmente, a mediados de los años 1400 llegaron los colonos polinesios. La pesca y la agricultura de subsistencia es el modo de vida tradicional. La isla no tiene carreteras, aeropuerto, teléfonos o electricidad. El contacto con el exterior se logra mediante radios con batería y el barco de carga que llega a la isla ocasionalmente. (es)
  • Taumako is the largest of the Duff Islands, in the Solomon Islands. This 5.7-kilometre-long (3.5-mile) island has steep sides and rises to a height of 400 metres (1,312 feet) above sea level. It is composed of basaltic lavas and pyroclastics like the other islands in the Duffs. The inhabitants of the Duff Islands are Polynesians, and their language, Vaeakau-Taumako, is a member of the Samoic branch of Polynesian languages.On the Duff Islands live about 439 people (1999 census). The islands were settled at least as early as 900 BC, by people who made pottery known as Lapita. Archaeological research has shown that this pottery was made using local clay and sand from the island. These Lapita people spread far as wide from the coastal area of Papua New Guinea to the islands of Tonga and Samoa; that is, throughout islands known as both Melanesia and Polynesia. Consequently, the people of Taumako experienced wide-ranging influences, and could be said to have been both Melanesian and Polynesian throughout their long history. The way of life is traditional by subsistence gardening and fishing. Taumako has no roads, airport, telephones, or electricity. Contact with outsiders comes by battery-powered marine radio and the scheduled (but rarely happening) monthly inter-island ship from Honiara. However the radio is only for use by the clinic, and the battery is often flat. (en)
