Tristan da Cunha (IPA: [ˈtrɪstən də ˈkuːnə]) is a group of remote islands in the south Atlantic Ocean, 2816 km (1750 miles) from South Africa and 3360 km (2088 miles) from South America. It is a dependency of the British overseas territory of Saint Helena, 2173 km (1350 miles) to the north. The territory consists of the main island, Tristan da Cunha (area: 98 km², 38 sq mi ), as well as several uninhabited islands: Inaccessible Island and the Nightingale Islands. Gough Island, situated 395 km (245 mi) south east of the main island, is also part of the territory.
Tristan da Cunha is the most remote archipelago (group of islands) and the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world.
