Pitcairn Island part 2

Hello friends, we continue our series about an amazing island located in the Pacific Ocean. This island is Pitcairn. Sit back and let's get started.
Pitcairn is the most unusual island on the planet. It's three by one and a half kilometers in size. Five islands of 46.5 m 2 under the common name of Pitcairn are located in the southeastern part of the Pacific Ocean. On the world map, this group of islands, four of which are uninhabited and only one of which is inhabited by people, looks like a small dot.
The significance of the islands in the modern world.
Pitcairn, Ducie, Sandy, Oeno and Henderson are of volcanic and coral origin. Closest to them are the islands of French Polynesia (2170 km). To the mountains. Auckland (New Zealand), where the official administration of Pitcairn Island is located, is more than 3000 km away. The islands are under the patronage of Great Britain. It is its only Pacific Territory.
The largest uninhabited island, Henderson, is 37.3 km²; Pitcairn, a inhabited island, is 4.6 km². The island was first sighted by the Portuguese in 1606 and named by them after St. John the Baptist. It received its present name, Pitcairn, on its second discovery by the British in 1767, after the officer who first sighted the land from a passing ship.
The island was settled in 1790 after a mutiny on the English ship Bounty. Mutineers, 28 people, led by Fletcher Christian landed on the deserted island. Among them were nine English sailors, six Polynesian slaves, and 13 Polynesian women.
The ship's captain and several sailors were sent by boat to certain death at sea, and the ship was burned near the shores of the island. The settlers lived isolated from the rest of the world until 1808, but then the island was spotted from the American whaling ship Topaz. Since then, the island's isolation ended.
Two attempts were made by the British government to move the Pitcairn inhabitants closer to civilization. In 1831 the attempt to relocate to Tahiti failed: 12 died in foreign lands, 65 returned home. A second attempt in 1856 was partly successful and some families have lived on Norfolk Island ever since.
The capital and only settlement of Pitcairn Island is Adamstown. It is impossible to reach the island by air, it has no airstrip. The only way to get here is by regular flights to Papiete (Tahiti), from where local aviation flies once a week to the archipelago of Gambier. From there you can reach Pitcairn in 36 hours by cargo ship or yacht passing by the island from Mangreva. The cargo ship option is more economical, but the ship carries cargo to the island eight times a year.
There are flights from Moscow to Tahiti via America (Los Angeles), Japan (Tokyo) or Hong Kong with one change, or UAE (Dubai) and New Zealand (Auckland) with 3-4 changes.
Distinguishing features.
Pitcairn (an island almost invisible on the map) is one of the most isolated and sparsely populated places on Earth.
