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.---
