Simbo is an island in Western Province, Solomon Islands. It was known to early Europeans as Eddystone Island. The islanders have their unique language spoken nowhere else.
==Geography== Simbo is actually two main islands, one small island called Nusa Simbo separated by a saltwater lagoon from a larger one. Collectively the islands are known to the local people as Mandegugusu, while in the rest of the Solomons the islands are referred to as Simbo. Simbo has an active volcano called Ove as well several saltwater lagoons and a freshwater lake.
