Pitcairn Islands

 

Population, relief, climate, agriculture and activities in the islands of Pitcairn:

If these islands were independent, would be the country with the lowest number of population. They are descendants of Tahitians who arrived here several centuries ago and their religion is the seven-day Adventist. The island’s relief is composed by corals with few of them volcanic and the climate is tropical. The maximum elevation doesn’t exceed several m height existing the danger for the islands to go underwater due to the global warming. (Find more journeys on blog.worldlifetimejourneys.com) The inhabitants are involved in agriculture cultivating bananas, pineapple, papaya, mango, bread trees, melons, passion fruit, coco trees, avocado, citrus, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, corn, taro, yams, peas and beans and also involved in fishing, in apiculture, in postage stamp and souvenirs selling, but the tourism represents more than 80% of the earnings even if the only way to arrive here is by boat.
