Pitcairn Island is the most southerly of the Pitcairn Islands group, being situated 121 km southeast from the atoll of Oeno and 170 km southwest from Henderson Island. The island is the youngest of the Pitcairn Islands (at less than 1 million years) and retains, unlike its neighbours, a youthful morphology characterised by steep slopes and a rugged terrain rising to a height of 350 m.
