Pitcairn Islands, British archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean.
The territory consists of four volcanic islands covering 47 square kilometers, with Pitcairn being the only inhabited island housing 50 permanent residents.
British navigator Philip Carteret discovered the islands in 1767, naming them after midshipman Robert Pitcairn who first spotted the landmass.
The community maintains direct lineage from nine HMS Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions, preserving their distinct heritage through generations.
Visitors require approval from the Island Council and must arrange transportation through specific maritime routes from French Polynesia.
The territory produces rare pure honey from bees that have never been exposed to diseases or agricultural chemicals since their introduction.
