}} Gough and Inaccessible Islands is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the archipelago of Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic Ocean. It consists of Gough Island and Inaccessible Island. The islands are uninhabited apart from the personnel of a weather station. They are Important Bird Areas and Alliance for Zero Extinction sites.〔BirdLife International (2015). (Important Bird Areas factsheet: Gough Island ). Downloaded from http://www.birdlife.org on 01/02/2015〕 The spectacled petrel is believed to nest only on Inaccessible Island.〔BirdLife International (2015). (Species factsheet: Procellaria conspicillata ). Downloaded from http://www.birdlife.org on 23/01/2015.〕 ==History== Gough Island was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1995.〔("UNESCO Committee Decision 19COM VIII.A.1" ), 1995, retrieved 12 February 2014〕 In 2004 the site was extended. The marine zone of Gough Island was extended from 3 to 12 miles and Inaccessible Island was included with the surrounding marine zone extending out to 12 miles. The site was renamed ''Gough and Inaccessible Islands''.〔("UNESCO Committee Decision 28COM 14B.17" ), 2004, retrieved 12 February 2014〕 The selection criteria for the site do not include its geomorphic interest. However, there has been ongoing discussion of including Gough and Inaccessible Islands in a possible "serial trans-boundary nomination" for the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which would include other volcanic sites in the Atlantic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mid-Atlantic Ridge )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gough and Inaccessible Islands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
