Corinthian II anchors off the coast of Tristan da Cunha, considered to be the most remote inhabited island in the world. Located halfway between South America and South Africa, this small volcanic island boasts a population of 300, who sustain themselves by fishing and farming. In 1961, a volcanic eruption forced the evacuation of the entire island, but almost
all of the residents chose to return. The island is an ornithologist’s dream, with 14 different types of petrel found here, including the Great Shearwater, the prion and the storm petrel. Rockhopper Penguins and wandering albatross are also common. Visit the settlement of dinburgh, set on a rugged volcanic cone rising 6,760 feet above sea level. And be sure to purchase a few postage stamps, which are prized by philatelists and other collectors throughout the world.
