The Escal Isles are a major tourist destination, with over 10 million visitors per year. This is due to their beaches, subtropical climate, and important natural attractions. The islands have warm summers and winters, owing to its predominantly temperate maritime climate and includes green areas as well as desert areas. The islands’ high mountains are ideal for astronomical observation, because they lie above the temperature inversion layer. As a result, the archipelago boasts two professional observatories - the Watihana Observatory on Selangai and the Lomasori Observatory on Koráng. | The Escal Isles are a major tourist destination, with over 10 million visitors per year.

The native population of the Escal Isles archipelago call the islands Tusapuluq (Eng: Ten (islands) standing together). Their mythology states that they came to the island on the backs of turtles around the 13th century. It is assumed that their mythology must be based on some variety of a realistic timeline and excavations in parts of the Escal Isles have loosely corroborated an arrival of native populations between the 11th and 14th centuries. It is further assumed that the native populations started in the southwestern Ota'Ane and over the centuries migrated further east and north, likely settling [[Sudmoll|Motukairangi]] last. | The native population of the Escal Isles archipelago call the islands Tusapuluq (Eng: Ten (islands) standing together).
