Inaccessible Island, Volcanic island in South Atlantic Ocean, United Kingdom.

The island encompasses 12.65 square kilometers of land mass and rises from sea level to an elevation of 511 meters through steep cliffs.

Dutch navigator Jan Jacobszoon made the first recorded landing on this island in 1656 during his voyage with the Dutch East India Company.

The territory forms part of the British overseas administration of Tristan da Cunha, positioned 2,810 kilometers away from Cape Town.

Reaching the island requires official permits from Tristan da Cunha authorities and transportation arrangements through limited maritime routes.

The island maintains a natural reserve status, featuring a single pebble beach in the northwest section amid surrounding vertical cliff formations.
