Travel guide

The Pitcairn Islands are a loosely grouped handful of tiny islands in the remote South Pacific, farther from any continent than any other inhabited island. The islands are the last British overseas territory in the South Pacific and most isolated British dependency. The rugged main island was settled by the infamous mutineers of HMS Bounty and their Polynesian companions, and most of Pitcairn's mere four dozen current inhabitants are their descendants. They are one of the least-populated entities given an ISO country code (PN).

Travel guide

Tuvalu is a group of nine low-lying islands and atolls in the South Pacific that form the fourth smallest country in the world. It is also one of the most isolated and remote independent countries in the world. Since its highest point is 3 metres above sea level, some studies predict that the majority of the land will be regularly inundated by the sea by the end of this century due to climate change. While the nation makes preparations for its possible demise, it still welcomes tourists to its beautiful beaches.
