Pitcairn Island is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth and has a fascinating history. If you've heard of the mutiny on the Bounty in 1789, this is where most of the mutineers decided to live out their lives. Today, some of their descendants are still there, and the island has a total population of around 45. Only very small boats can access its port, but we were lucky enough to have many of the residents come aboard our ship for a day to meet us and tell us what life is like there.
