Do you want to see some of the world’s best-kept secrets? If yes, then keep reading this article because we’ve compiled a list of 10 spots that are far from everything.

Most Remote Place On Earth

These are some of the world’s most remote locations, so be prepared for an adventure if you decide to visit.

Tristan Da Cunha, South Atlantic Ocean

Tristan da Cunha is a group of four islands that make up the island of Tristan da Cunha. Tristan da Cunha, Nightingale, Inaccessible, and Gough Island are the names of the islands. Due to the wild landscapes and outstanding sea cliffs, the latter two have been included to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The islands are part of the United Kingdom, which comes as no surprise given that the capital’s name is Edinburgh of the Seven Seas.

It’s a little easier to get to Tristan de Cunha than it is to go to the Pitcairn Islands. Fly to Cape Town and board one of the few vessels that sail through each year. Oh, and the boat trip takes 5 to 6 days in all.

Supai Village, Arizona

Believe it or not, one of the world’s most remote locations is right here in our own neighbourhood. The US Department of Agriculture has designated Supai, Arizona, near Havasu Canyon, as the most isolated community in the contiguous 48 states. Because there are no roads, the only route in and out of the village is by helicopter or an eight-mile hike. Mules are even used to transport mail! Supai is the administrative centre of the Havasupai Indian Reservation, which has a population of approximately 450 people.

Motuo, Tibet

Because of its topography of many high-elevation mountain ranges, Motuo was the last county in Tibet to be inaccessible by road, and as a result, the secluded territory has remained largely unaffected by the rest of the world. In this gorgeous region, which was formerly regarded holy ground in Tibetan Buddhist scripture, the indigenous community of about 12,000 people survives by producing paddy, soybean, cotton, and gingeli. A traveller interested in visiting this extraordinary town before the road was completed would have to undertake a strenuous and dangerous four-day journey across mountains, stopping at small communities for rest along the route.

Pitcairn Island

Pitcairn Island is a small island off the coast of Australia. More specifically, it is located in the Pacific Ocean, almost halfway between New Zealand and Peru. The 56 people who live on the island are all descendants of a group of sailors who mutinied on the ship HMS Bounty in 1789. Tourists are welcome on the island, but getting there is difficult. You must first travel to Tahiti before boarding a local flight to Magareva (the flight only departs once per week). Take a boat to Rikitea from here, where the frighter Claymore II travels every third month. Pitcairn Island will be reached after 32 hours of sailing. Have a fantastic trip!

Macquarie Island, South Western Pacific Ocean

Macquarie Island, which lies between New Zealand and Antarctica, is home to scientists who work at the Australian facility there. The researchers are in the minority, because during the breeding season, this island is home to the whole world’s population of white-chested penguins. During the “hot season,” the island is home to around 2 million penguins!

Hawaii, U.S.A.

At 2,390 miles from California and 3,850 miles from Japan, Hawaii is the world’s most isolated population centre. Fortunately, despite its remoteness (particularly on the Big Island and Kauai), it is home to a large city (Honolulu) and a plethora of tourist attractions, hotels, and lodging. It takes only five hours to fly there from California.

Socotra

Socotra is a Yemeni island and island group situated 240 kilometres east of the Horn of Africa. Socotra is known as “the most alien-looking area on earth,” and one-third of the island group’s vegetation and fauna are unique to Socotra, meaning they can only be found there. Unusual trees with strange names like “Dragon’s Blood Tree” and “Cucumber Tree” can be found here, among other things.

Kerguelen Islands, Southern Indian Ocean

Because of their extreme isolation – more than 2,000 miles from civilisation — the Kerguelen Islands in the southern Indian Ocean are sometimes known as the Desolation Islands. The Kerguelen Islands have no indigenous people, but the lone community, Port-aux-Français, has a small population of 50 to 100 scientists who perform research. The Kerguelen Islands are only accessible by ship, which departs four times a year.

Oymyakon, Siberia

Oymyakon, dubbed the “coldest town on Earth,” sees daily temperatures in the Siberian tundra that drop well below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Because airlines are frequently cancelled due to the cold, the only way to get there is to drive for two days. But it could be worth the trip to witness how these bulletproof Russians manage to survive in this town.

McMurdo Station, Antarctica

Antarctica, of course, is on the list; it is literally at the bottom of the world. Antarctica is the only continent without indigenous people, and while the entire continent is as remote as it gets, McMurdo Station, the research station on Ross Island’s southern point, is undoubtedly one of the most isolated inhabited sites on the planet. You’ll need to be a scientist, a military person, or an artist to get there, and you’ll arrive in a military plane equipped with special skis that can land on sea ice.
