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.
