THE PITCAIRN ISLANDS.: officially are Pitcairn, Henderson ,Ducie , and Oeno make up the Pitcairn Island group of four islands in the Southern Pacific Ocean that form the last British Overseas Territory in the Pacific .The four Islands , Henderson, Pitcairn , Dulcie and Oeno are spread over several hundred miles of ocean and have a total land area of some 47 KM2  ( 18Miles 2). Only Pitcairn the second largest Island that measures about 3.6 KM2 ( 2.2 miles 2) from east to west is inhabited. The Islands are inhabited mainly by the descendants of nine "Bounty "mutineers or the Tahitians (or Polynesians) that accompanied them.an event that has been retold many times in stories and films.This history is still apparent in the surnames of many of the Islanders.With only about 50 permanent inhabitants originating from four main families, Pitcairn is the least most populous National jurisdiction in the world.
