Cruises from Gough Island

Gough Island is a volcanic island in the South Atlantic, roughly midway between Cape Town and Buenos Aires. It is a dependency of Tristan da Cunha Islands group, and part of the British overseas territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. Originally named Gonçalo Álvares in 1505 by the Portuguese explorer, Charles Gough rediscovered the island in 1732. In the early 1800s sealers were based there.
