The entire archipelago (the three islands you asked about, plus Gough Island and two other islands grouped with Nightingale) is called Tristan da Cunha, but Tristan da Cunha is also the name of the main island, which is quite mountainous. The only level ground is in the vacinity of the capital, Edinburgh, also called Edinburgh on the Seven Seas. Inaccessible Island is an extinct volcano, so it has a relatively large island near its center. It is well known for its wildlife. As you can imagine from its name, it is quite difficult to travel around the island due to the terrain and the fact that it is surrounded by cliffs. Nightingale Island is the largest of the Nightingale Islands, which also include Middle Island and Stoltenhoff Island. Nightingale has two mountain peaks and is ringed by cliffs, but they are not as high as those of Inaccessible. It is also noted that the island is surrounded by kelp, which can make it difficult to anchor ships there. The entire territory is a dependancy of Saint Helena, which itself is ruled by the United Kingdom.
