The actual name of Mystery Island is Inyyeug Island (I have no idea how to pronounce this)! When the first cruise ship the Fairstar came to the island in the 1980s they renamed the island Mystery island because it was a mystery whether or not the weather would cooperate to let you land tourists on the beach. We were safely "tendered" ashore in the ship's life boats, to be greeted by natives from the neighboring island of Aneityum. They canoe over to sell their wares and entertain whenever the cruise ships come.
