Stoltenhoff Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stoltenhoff Island is a small uninhabited island in the South Atlantic Ocean, part of the Nightingale Islands. It is the smallest of the Nightingale Islands. They are governed as part of Tristan da Cunha, a dependency of the British overseas territory of Saint Helena.
This island is named after the two brothers Gustav and Friedrich Stoltenhoff who tried to settle on the nearby Inaccessible Island. But their attempt was abandoned after two difficult years.
