“Today we’re going to Skull Island,” said my host. Frankly, it didn’t mean anything and I wondered if, like Fiji’s Heart Island, it was named for its shape. I didn’t ask, which saved me making an ass of myself for the tiny islet, in the Solomon Islands’ Western Province, is actually named for the presence of human skulls, a legacy of headhunting days gone by.
