The Pitcairn Islands

Posted by ashley @ 1:07 am on June 25th

The Pitcairn Islands, form a group of four volcanic islands in the southern Pacific Ocean. The islands are a British overseas territory (formerly a British colony), the last remaining in the Pacific. The four islands – named Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie, and Oeno – are spread over several hundred miles of ocean and have a total area of about 18 square miles (47 km2). Only Pitcairn, the second largest and measuring about 2 miles (3.2 km) across, is inhabited. With only about 50 inhabitants (from nine families), Pitcairn is the least populous and most remote jurisdiction in the world. Pitcairn Island does not have an airport or seaport; the islanders rely on longboats to ferry people and goods between ship and shore through Bounty Bay. The island does have one small harbor and launch ramp that is used to dock and load long-boats, but it is so small and the water so shallow that only small-craft can fit. To get to Pitcairn today, you can travel on board Pitcairn’s new dedicated Passenger / Cargo supply ship chartered by the Pitcairn Island Government.
