To the South of Pacific there is a nice island of Pitcairn. It is the largest island of the archipelago of the same name. The area of this island is a little more than 4.5 square km. According to recent data, about 50 people live there constantly. The history of this tiny island is very rich and amazing. The first settlements on its territory were founded in the late 18th century. The initial settlers were rebels from Bounty ship. Today the island has a bay named after that ship.
The subsequent history of the island is full of tragic events related to collisions of European sailors and Tahitians. Officially, the British colony of Pitcairn Islands was recognized in 1838. Now it's referred as an overseas territory of the UK. People who live on the island today are descendants of those rebels from Bounty. For hundreds of years, agriculture and fisheries have been their main means of livelihood.
In recent years, the population of the island remains virtually unchanged. Many young people from the local community are choosing to emigrate to New Zealand. There are no constant transport links to the mainland. There is not even an airport on the island, so it's not easy for tourists to get here. Travelers who manage to reach these beautiful secluded islands have an opportunity to get acquainted with the unique way of life and culture of the indigenous population. Delicious honey is produced here, wonderful fruit and vegetables are grown, and unique artisan crafts are created on the Pitcairn Island.
