Tristan da Cunha comprises six volcanic islands that sit 1,500 miles ( 2,400 kilometers ) southwest of St. Helena island.

The archipelago was forged eons ago from what scientists call a hotspot.

The main island stretches 7.5 miles ( 12 km ) across and its cone-shaped volcano, called Queen Mary's Peak , rises 6,765 feet above sea level.
