Standing completely alone on a tiny, uninhabited island in the Southern Ocean is a 120-year-old tree.
More than 400 miles from the south of New Zealand, here the sun shines for less than an hour most days, rain falls on average for 325 days and you can expect temperatures of just 6C.
It has earned the nine-metre tall Sitka spruce, planted on Campbell Island, the title of the “world’s loneliest tree”, whose nearest neighbour grows on another island 120 miles away.
