Landscape
The Pitcairn Islands territory consists of four widely separated islands in the South Pacific. Pitcairn itself is a steep volcanic island, while Henderson is a raised coral island. Ducie and Oeno are low atoll environments.
Settlement is concentrated on Pitcairn, where rugged slopes and limited coastal access shape everyday geography. Henderson’s limestone plateau and the low reef islands elsewhere have quite different landforms. The territory should not be pictured as four versions of the inhabited island.
