Photos of Pitcairn Islands

Oeno Island, the westernmost of the Pitcairn Islands, has a distinctive, circular fringing reef clearly seen in this view from space. While the island is uninhabited, it is also referred to as Holiday Island because it serves as a private vacation destination for the residents of Pitcairn Island, who travel there and stay for a few weeks in January because Oeno has beaches while Pitcairn has none. Fresh water is pumped out of a well dug in the sand. Photo courtesy of NASA.
