Completely shut off from the world by two thousand nautical miles of open South Atlantic ocean and some of the world’s fiercest weather, the Gough and Inaccessible Islands are one of the last places in the world that remain close to pristine. Its spectacular cliffs, towering above the ocean, are home to one of the world’s largest and most important colonies of seabirds. Appreciate this World Heritage site from a distance.
