Background

Inaccessible Island, located about 40 km SW of Tristan da Cunha, was Potassium-Argon age dated at 6 +/- 1.5 million years ago (Baker et al., 1964), but more recent dates of about 1 million have been obtained (Cliff et al., 1991). The island is the remnant of a stratovolcano centered about 2 km SW.

Stop Russia's Agression - Support Ukraine

Significant parts of this website use brilliant open-source software developed by Ukrainians. Russia's unprovoked war has killed tens of thousands, displaced millions, and the beautiful country of Ukraine is being destroyed. We cannot be silent even if the topic of this website has nothing to do with politics.
If you like to support Ukraine from abroad:
Ukrainians recommend the Come Back Alive charity. For other options, see StandWithUkraine.
