Bounty Bay, Pitcairn Island

Mutiny History, Remote Isolation, and Unique Culture

A photograph of Bounty Bay on Pitcairn Island, a British Overseas Territory in the South Pacific. The small bay is famous for being the final resting place of the HMS Bounty, which was burned by the mutineers who settled the island. The image shows the steep, rocky coastline of the island plunging down to the turquoise ocean, with a small landing area or dock visible at the edge of the bay. The island's slopes are covered in lush green tropical vegetation.
