	Pitcairn Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Henderson was re-discovered on the 17th January 1819 by British Capt. Henderson of the British East India Company ship Hercules who came across the island and named it Henderson Island.
		The Pitcairn Islands form the southeasternmost extension of the geological archipelago of the Tuamotus of French Polynesia, and consist of four islands: Pitcairn Island, Oeno Island (atoll with 5 islets), Henderson Island and Ducie Island (atoll with 4 islets):
		Henderson Island, covering about 67% of the territory's total land area, and supporting a rich variety of animals in its nearly inaccessible interior, is also capable of supporting a small human population, but it is hard to get there and back, its outer shores being comprised of uniformly steep limestone cliffs of sharp coral.

	Henderson Island (Pitcairn Islands) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Henderson Island is an uninhabited uplifted coral island in the south Pacific Ocean, annexed to the Pitcairn Islands colony in 1902.
		Henderson Island was designated a World Heritage Site by the United Nations in 1988 because of its bird life and untouched phosphate reserves.
		Although Henderson is virtually uninhabitable, archaeological evidence suggests that it was inhabited by a small Polynesian permanent colony between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries (CE) until this group disappeared.

	Henderson Island (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Henderson Island is an unihabitated raised reef island, 9.6 km long by 5.1 km wide with an area of 36 square km, in the Pitcairn Island group of the SE Pacific.
		The island's perimeter is 26.4 km; of this, 16.5 km is encircled by a fringing reef.
		Henderson Island is one the few places in the world with an ecology virtually unaltered by man. This permits the study of the dynamics of insular evolution and natural selection.

	Sea Shepherd Henderson Island Report from Captain Paul Wat
		Henderson Island may be uninhabited, but the British officially put claim to the island in 1819. In 1937, Henderson was visited by the cruiser H.M.S. Leander, and new signboards were erected to reaffirm British sovereignty.
		Henderson or whatever name they themselves called the island would have been the entire world and their world simply did not provide enough for them to survive.
		Henderson has had hundreds of years to heal itself from the first Polynesian settlers and those Europeans that were briefly marooned, and although those species of birds driven to extinction by the human invaders are gone forever, the green turtles still come and the surviving birds still nest.

		Henderson Island lies 107 miles east-north-east of Pitcairn (nearly 200 miles west-north-west of Ducie) at 24 degrees 22 minutes South, 128 degrees 20 minutes West.
		The island is densely wooded and so thickly interlaced with shrubs that walking is not only difficult but dangerous, since the vegetation conceals the cavities in the coral.
		Incredibly, Henderson was nevertheleses populated by Polynesians, possibly for generations, between approximately 1250 and 1425 A.D. In 1971, Professor Yosihiko Sinoto of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum in Honolulu discovered small shelter caves in the base of a limestone cliff with evidence of human occupation.

		The surface of the island is in large part reef-rubble interspersed with areas of dissected limestone, surrounded by steep limestone cliffs undercut on all sides except to the north.
		The island was visited by Operation Raleigh in spring 1987 and by an expedition from the Smithsonian Institution in the same year, and by the Sir Peter Scott Commemorative Expedition in 1991-1992.
		The importance of the island was indicated by the International Biological Programme and by a resolution of the 15th Pacific Science Congress, as well as by individual scientists.

		As a result, the island has been extensively changed by the islander's occupation: invasive plants have overrun native ones, goats have damaged, tree-felling and the use of the bulldozer have carved up the hill sides and contributed to a considerable erosional damage (caused by some 1600mm of annual tropical rain).
		Henderson Island is a raised coral island, uplifted by the lithospheric flexure caused by the crustal loading of the volcanic island of Pitcairn.
		Henderson, which is a forested atoll, largelyunaltered with ten endemic plant taxa, four endemic land birds and various other endemics, is in fact of great scientific and conservation value.

	Henderson Island
		Henderson used to support at least 17 species of breeding seabirds, including petrel colonies possibly as large as millions of birds, whose adults and chicks would have been easy to catch on the nest.
		Henderson Island was sighted by Pedro Fernandez de Quiros, a Portuguese navigator sailing for the Spanish King, on January 29, 1606.
		Henderson was examined for its settlement possibilities and he considered that, despite its barrenness, it could maintain a permanent population of from 200-200 natives.

		The island’s European discoverer, the Dutch captain Roggeveen, noted in 1722 that he had found a flat, dry, sparsely populated island covered with large statues that the natives appeared to be incapable of carving.
		Henderson and Pitcairn are now considered to be among the so-called “Mystery Islands” which show signs of prehistoric occupation but were abandoned at the time of their European discovery.
		Henderson in particular is a makatea (or “upraised”) island, an isolated little speck of broken karst on which no Polynesian crops will grow, yet it was occupied continuously for at least 600 years by importation of food and use of local resources (Weisler 1995).

		The island was originally covered in dense kauri forests, but they have been largely cleared by the early European inhabitants for farmland.
		The island was subdivided for housing, intially mostly for baches, but with the improvement of the ferry service over the years, permanent residents have increased in numbers.
		The mudflats are mainly on the south side of the island, and being relatively calm and shallow are good for swimming at high tide, but they can be prone to sea-lice at some times of the year.
