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.
The most remote inhabited island in the world ????
Welcome to the most isolated place on earth.
This island is the world's most isolated inhabited location. It is also one of the few places on Earth without a physical border with another land mass. It’s located in the South Atlantic Ocean approximately 1,700 miles from Cape Town in South Africa and 2,400 miles from Mar del Plata in South America. Welcome to Tristan da Cunha. One of the least populated places in the world, with only 300 people.
This is a self-governing territory of the United Kingdom with its own constitution.
The only way to travel to Tristan is by ship from Cape Town, but only a limited number of berths are available.
The island has a circular shape with a 21-mile-long coastline. Despite its small size, it is undoubtedly an interesting and unusual destination to explore.

EXTREME ISOLATION: The Most Remote Inhabited Places on Earth
North Sentinel island is located far into the Indian Ocean in the chain of islands called the Andaman and Nicobar Islands which is a territory of India. The island is about the size of Manhattan and its illegal to travel here because the island is home to the planet’s most isolated hunter-gatherer society.
The Sentinelese tribe could range anywhere from 15-500 people but there’s no way of knowing for certain. What we do know is that they do not wish to be contacted as they have resisted any and all contact with the outside world for up to 60,000 years. Nothing is known about their language, they hunt with bows and arrows and they are completely untouched by modern civilization. Today’s so-called un-contacted people all have a history of contact, whether from exploitation or simply seeing a plane flying overhead. What I’ve come to realize is that there are no people who are isolated by accident or have somehow managed to stay completely unaware of the modern times- it’s more that there is this deep rooted fear or defiance of the outside world. Also, the Sentinelese and other isolated tribes around the world are extremely vulnerable to any foreign contact because they have virtually zero immunity to our diseases and could very quickly be wiped out by the exposure.
Pitcairn Island is a British Overseas Territory situated 3,300 miles from New Zealand and no plane or helicopter has ever landed there, so getting there requires a 32-hour cargo ship journey. In the 1700’s this island was settled by a real life ship full of mutineers. The mutineers were running from British Naval ships when they found the uninhabited Pitcairn Island and decided to hide there by sinking their ship after they landed. Today there are around 50 people living on Pitcairn Island which is not much larger than Central Park.
Tristan da Cunha island is said to be the world’s most remote inhabited archipelago which also happens to be on an active volcano. The closest other people to this little town is 1200 miles away in St. Helena and it's 1700 miles away from South Africa. Can you imagine living there?? There’s less than 300 people who call this place home which still feels like a surprising amount of people.
La Rinconada, Peru is the highest human habitation in the world, and it is home to some of the most brutal living conditions in the world. The town is built at an astonishing height of 16,700 feet. The town is accessible only by braving a dangerous mountainside road covered in ice and the journey can take several days. Its unclear exactly how many people live in La Rinconada because there’s a totally lack of government regulation but it’s estimated to be as many 50,000 live here. The motivation to live in this harsh landscape? Gold mining.
The Russian town of Oymyakon also known as the coldest inhabited place on earth. It takes two days to get there, traveling down a barren and isolated stretch of road from the closest city in Siberia. Temperatures there average around -58° F during the winter months in this area of Northeastern Russia. Daylight only lasts for 3 hours in the winter but it’s light out for 21 hours in the summer. Around 500 people live in this remote community!!

It’s Illegal to Visit This Island in the Indian Ocean, and Here’s Why
As you continue your world travels, seeing all sorts of majestic sights and incredible cultures, there’s one little island that has been dubbed one of the most difficult (and dangerous) places to visit on the entire planet.

OFF GRID On the Most Remote Island on Earth
This is the Hakaui Valley on the remote island of Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas, French Polynesia.
With the nearest continental mass over 3000 miles away, this is one of the most remote islands on earth, and the Hakaui valley cannot be reached by road, plane, or anything other than a boat or a 17km hike from the nearest town of Taiohae.
The island itself is a full 3 hour flight from the capitol of Tahiti!
For this adventure, I'm seeing if I can survive for 24 hours in this jungle without electricity (other than minimal solar light), refrigeration, communication with the outside world, and the basic comforts we take for granted. Here they live off the grid, mostly living off the land foraging, growing their own food, and hunting for what they eat. This is true farm to table! This is a unique opportunity to see what it's like to live off the land, to be in harmony with the environment, and to get a peek into Marquesan culture.

The UK's Most Remote Island
Beyond its name, the island Papa Stour in the west of Shetland has many unique and interesting things about it. Despite only being a couple miles in size, it packs a lot of beauty.
Okay if we're being pedantic, maybe the most remote island in the UK is Foula, which you can actually see in this video in the distance at 2:36 and in the last clip of the video. But Foula has a population of around 35 compared to Papa Stour's 6. So, I hope you let me off the hook.

300 Days Alone on an Island - A Robinson Crusoe Adventure in the Pacific Ocean
Welcome to our amazing adventure! In this video, we'll be joining our hero Xavier Rosset on a real-life Robinson Crusoe adventure - 300 days alone on Tofua, a remote island of the Tonga in the Pacific Ocean.
We'll follow our hero as he embarks on a daring journey of exploration, discovery, and self-reliance. He'll be completely isolated from civilization, and must use his wits and skills to survive.
We'll start by watching him build a shelter, and gathering food and supplies. Then he'll have to figure out how to catch fish and hunt animals. He'll also need to make improvised tools, and explore the island.
And we'll watch as he adjusts to life on the island; dealing with storms, loneliness, and the possibility of never being rescued. We'll see how he copes with the mental and physical struggles of living alone in the wild.
It's a remarkable story of courage and determination, a true psychological story between solitude and loneliness and hopefully it will inspire others to try their own outdoor adventures. Join us now for this amazing Robinson Crusoe adventure!
After 3 minutes, you won't be willing to leave your screen.
Ce film existe aussi en version originale française , Xavier explique dans sa langue maternelle ses souffrances et ses joies. Cette version est un peu différente de celle en anglais.
