Earths Most Isolated Uninhabited Island

Earths Most Isolated Uninhabited Island

Bouvet Island is the most remote place on the planet. This icy volcanic peak sits in the South Atlantic, over a thousand miles from the nearest human settlement or continent.

Imagine a tiny, frozen rock covered in glaciers that is thousands of miles from anywhere else. This mysterious dependency of Norway is so lonely that its closest neighbors are actually in Antarctica, yet it sits just outside the Antarctic treaty zone. It remains completely uninhabited, save for the occasional brave scientist or passing colony of penguins. It is truly the ultimate definition of middle-of-nowhere.
