Tristan Da Cunha is The World's Most Isolated Town. The Most Remote Community on Earth!
Talk about Small Town life! This is the most remote village / town in the world...
It take 6 days by boat to get to Tristan Da Cunha, a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Despite that, it's got a town / village of about 200 people who live there full time! luckily, the news and internet got there in the 2000's!!!
Tristan da Cunha is a British overseas territory (along with neighbors St. Helena & Ascension Islands and its residents are British citizens!
The most remote island on earth is looking for employees
Tristan da Cunha is situated midway between South Africa and South America and is looking for farmers- well an agricultural advisor to be specific. Report by Sarah Duffy.
10 Most Isolated Places to Live in the World
Get more Tips here!
Sometimes we tend to exaggerate and say that we live in the middle of nowhere, but these
people... they REALLY live in the middle of nowhere. And, for you to get a better idea of
what we mean, here are the 10 most isolated habited places in the world.
1. LA RINCONADA, PERU
This is the highest human settlement on earth. You can find it at 17,000 feet above sea level
in the Peruvian Andes. It has a population of 50,000 and their economy relies on the gold
they mine from nearby gold mines. The town lacks plumbing and sanitary drainage systems
but does have mercury contamination from the mining activities as well. So, that’s a hard
place to live in.
2. CHANGTANG, TIBET
It's known as The Roof of the World, at 9,000 feet. The winters are cold and Arctic-like.
They live as nomadic pastoralists, being known as 'Changpa', or 'Drokpa' together with snow
leopards and yaks. Ah, and, if you want to go there, you’ll need a permit to enter the area.
3. VILLA LAS ESTRELLAS, CHILE
It has a summer population of 150 and a winter population of 80. There is a ‘Correos de
Chile’ post office staffed in the summer by a postal worker and by the command of the base
in the winter. And they even have a Villa Las Estrellas Primary School with 3 computers
AND internet access! (that part is actually quite surprising…)
4. EDINBURGH OF THE SEVEN SEAS, SAINT HELENA
It's the most remote permanent settlement on Earth, being 2,173 kilometres from the nearest
other human settlement, on Saint Helena. In 1961, the whole population left because of the
eruption of a volcano, but most of them came back and rebuilt the place in 1963.
5. SUPAI VILLAGE, ARIZONA
This is the most remote community in the United States being the only place in the United
States where mail is still carried out by mules. Located within the Grand Canyon, it is only
accessible by foot, pack animal or helicopter, and as of the 2010 census, the CDP had a
population of 208.
6. COOBER PEDY, AUSTRALIA
This is the opal capital of the world because of the quantity of precious opals that are
mined there. The name Coober Pedy comes from the local Aboriginal term kupa-piti, which
means boys' waterhole. Visitors attractions include the mines, the graveyard and the
underground churches. And there are several motels offering underground accommodation
7. LONGYEARBYEN, NORWAY
This is the world's northernmost settlement of any kind with more than 1,000 permanent
residents. They live a combination of an Arctic climate tempered by the North Atlantic
Current, and experience midnight sun on half of the year and polar night the other half, so it's
a bit crazy. Then they have strange laws such as ban on cats, a restriction on how much
alcohol an individual can purchase on a monthly basis, and a requirement that any
individuals venturing outside carry a rifle for protection against polar bears. Also if you die
there they'll have to take your corpse to another town, they can't bury you there because
your body will stay forever.
8. PALMERSTON, COOK ISLANDS
There is no safe entry for large ships and it enjoys a tropical climate but is exposed to severe
tropical cyclones. 62 people live in Palmerston, all but three descended from English sailor
William Marsters so there are still many family links and common ancestors between these
atolls, because William Marsters and his three wifes had quite a large family of some 23
children, whose descendants now inhabit Palmerston.
9. SIWA OASIS, EGYPT
This is an urban oasis between the Qattara Depression and the Great Sand Sea. It is one of
Egypt's most isolated settlements with about 33,000 people, mostly Berbers, who developed
a unique culture and a distinct dialect called Siwi. It's the home to an oracle of Ammon,
where you can still visit the ruins.
10. WHITTIER, ALASKA
In 2016, they were 214 people living there. It is very popular with tourists because of its
abundance of wildlife and natural beauty. Just imagine, Whittier is located within the
Chugach National Forest, the second-largest national forest in the U.S. However, the only
land access is through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, a mixed-use road and rail
tunnel.

How is Edinburgh of the Seven Seas?
Sitting on the island of Tristan da Cunha, Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, one of the British Overseas Territories, has been dubbed the most remote settlement in the world.
Tristan de Cunha is actually an active volcanic island in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean. The last time it erupted was in 1961, which forced islanders to evacuate to England.
The island is only accessible by boat — many of which depart from the nearest city of Cape Town, South Africa — and the journey to Tristan de Cunha takes nearly one week to complete.

Return to Trista Da Cunha
I thought I was extremely fortunate to visit Tristan Da Cunha the first time. Returning after one year was extra special, and I was so grateful for the chance to revisit this magical and little-known island in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean. I ran into some familiar faces and can only pray that one day, I get to return.

Have you been to Tristan da Cunha?
Welcome to our list of top reasons why you should visit Tristan da Cunha.
Today we will travel to the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world. Tristan da Cunha is a remote group of volcanic islands with rare wildlife in the South Atlantic Ocean, lying approximately 2,400km west off the coast of Cape Town in South Africa.
Top things to do in Tristan da Cunha:
-A golf package can be arranged and includes a golf tie, certificate, score card and a play on the course
-A ride on the only bus in the island will carry you to the Potato Patches, a communal land where crops are grown
-A walk to the summit of Queen Mary’s Peak. Please note you must go with a local guide and the visit must be arranged in advance with the Tourism coordinator.
-Local boats are available for hire for offshore fishing, or for trips around Tristan or to Nightingale Island, where Rockhopper Penguins can be spotted in January
-Or why not taking a trip to Inaccessible Island? Despite its name, it is possible to visit the island, but only visitors escorted by guides from Tristan. Inaccessible Island was made a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995. Bird-watchers are in luck as they can find there one of the 5000 pairs of the smallest living flightless bird, the Inaccessible Rail
