Pitcairn Island

Part of the wider Pitcairns Island group (a group of four volcanic islands which also includes Henderson, Ducie and Oeno), Pitcairn Island is situated in the central South Pacific. Pitcairn is the only inhabited island of the four and has a notable maritime history due to mutineers from the HMS Bounty settling on the island. Rich, volcanic soil and tropical conditions make for lush plant life, while the island’s isolation and lack of artificial light have earned it International Dark Sky Sanctuary Status (IDSS). Despite its size, there is plenty to explore, with some truly unique natural beauty spots.
