핸더슨 섬 (남태평양)

핸더슨 섬 (Henderson Island)
* 남태평양의 동쪽에 위치한 핸더슨 섬은 화산섬이 아니고 높이 30미터 정도의 산호초에 가까운 섬으로 다공질의 석회암으로 이루어져있으며, 地然의 도태와 진화연구에 중요한 섬이다.
* Henderson Island, which lies in the eastern South Pacific, is one of the few atolls in the world whose ecology has been practically untouched by a human presence. Its isolated location provides the ideal context for studying the dynamics of insular evolution and natural selection. It is particularly notable for the 10 plants and four land birds that are endemic to the island
