ゴフ Island (English: Gough Island) is a volcanic island of the U.K. territory in South Atlantic Ocean.
I am located at the 350km southeast, 40°21'S, 09°53'W of Tristan da Cunha. The permanent resident is not, and there is only the staff of the weather station which U.K. and South Africa maintain from 1956. Therefore, it is handling as the uninhabited island formally.
