Where In The World?

This one may be a little difficult.  Maybe not.  It’s chief signifigance is cultural.  I even included a measurement for you for scale.  You’re welcome. 

UPDATE: Congrats to BVBigBro.  I guess this one wasn’t too difficult (no offense). 

This is Henderson Island.  The crew of the whaleship Essex landed here for a week after their ship was sunk by an extraordinarily large Sperm Whale.  Three men stayed for months until finally rescued.  The other survivors resorted to cannibalism in order to survive.  The plight of the Essex inspired Herman Melville as he wrote his signature tome, Moby Dick.
