Pitcairn Island

The Pitcairn Islands – the last British Overseas Territory in the Pacific – comprises four remote islands: the namesake Pitcairn Island itself, plus the uninhabited Oeno, Henderson and Ducie. What’s rarely mentioned about Pitcairn, between the infamous Bounty story and the 2004 sex trials scandal, is that it’s a place of incredible natural beauty. The island’s 5 sq km surface is almost entirely sloped and has a varied landscape – from desolate rock cliffs that look over an infinite expanse of sea to lush hillsides bursting with tropical plenty.
