Nightingale Island

Saint Helena

Nightingale Island is a remote volcanic island in the Tristan da Cunha group of the South Atlantic, part of Saint Helena's territory. Uninhabited except for visiting Tristan islanders harvesting seabird eggs, it holds one of the world's great seabird concentrations. Expedition ships view millions of great shearwaters and penguins — over a million rockhopper penguins breed here — the yellow-nosed albatross, and the island's two islets amid the vast ocean.
