Plan an island holiday!

[Daniel AV]

Hi!

I found on the internet this information about the islands:

· The Pictcairn Islands are a group of four volcanic islands in the southern Pacific Ocean that form the last British Overseas Territory in the Pacific. The islands are inhabited mostly by descendants of nine Bounty mutineers and the Tahitians (or Polynesians) who accompanied them, an event that has been retold in many books 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 populous national jurisdiction in the world.

· Galapagos Islands are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed on either side of the Equator in the Pacific Ocean surrounding the centre of the Western Hemisphere, 906 km (563 mi) west of continental Ecuador. Those islands are the place that helped Darwin to create his evolution theory (or Darwinism).

· Tristan de Cunha is the name of both a remote group of volcanic islands in the south Atlantic Ocean and the main island of that group. It is the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world, lying 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) from the nearest inhabited land, Saint Helena,[4] and 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) from the nearest continental land, South Africa.

· Faroe Islands are a group of islands near to Denmark. In fact, the islands are an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark. I always remember this place because they have one of the worst national soccer teams of Europe. They always get many goals against.

· The Andaman Islands form an archipelago in the Bay of Bengal between India, to the west, and Myanmar, to the north and east. Most are part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Union Territory of India, while a small number in the north of the archipelago, including the Coco Islands, belong to Myanmar. The Andaman Islands are home to the Sentinelese, who have had little contact with any other people.

In my opinion, the most interesting islands to visit are the Galapagos Islands. I prefer to visit this islands rather than the other ones because I'm keen on nature, animals (I want to meet the giant turtles!)... And a friend of me who is very adventurous and knows the place, told me that the people of those islands are friendly and very interesting.

Hi Daniel, thanks for doing the research. Yes I know somebody who did some volunteer work for an NGO related to animals in the Galapagos - he loved it. But I seem to remember that it was a very expensive holiday! :)
You write very well in english, just one little comment:
