Edwards Island

Edwards Island is one of the four small islets (motu) that comprise Ducie Atoll, a remote and uninhabited coral atoll in the eastern South Pacific Ocean within the Pitcairn Islands territory. Located immediately to the east of Pandora Islet along the southern rim of the atoll, Edwards Island shares the same general characteristics as its neighbors and is named after Captain Edward Edwards of HMS Pandora, who discovered the atoll in 1791 while searching for the Bounty mutineers.
