'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, and is to the north west of Nightingale Island itself. 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.
