The Maskelynes Islands are a small chain of low islands that forms part of Vanuatu in the Pacific Ocean. They lie at the southeastern end of Malakula.They were named by Captain Cook after the Astronomer Royal Nevil Maskelyne as he sailed north from Port Resolution on Tanna in HMS Resolution in late 1774.

However, the island chain also went through a variety of cycles of population and depopulation (causes not given in reference).
