Pitcairn - The Most ISOLATED Island in the World

We are scheduled to arrive at Pitcairn tomorrow morning!

Pitcairn Island (pronounced "Pitkern" by locals) is one of the most isolated places on the planet[1]. It is most famous for being the island where the mutineers of the HMS Bounty fled to and hid from the authorities in 1790. In the 230+ years since then, Pitcairn has had an interesting if troubled, even tragic history. You can read about the detailed history of Pitcairn Island here:
