The most isolated land

Tristan da Cunha Island

Only 50% of the Earth's surface area is inhabited. Many lands are completely separate from the outside world, the most remote of which is the South Atlantic volcanic island: Tristan da Cunha Island.

4% of the Earth is too arid, too cold, too hot, too high mountains, many forests, so it is not possible to have a large population living there. Antarctica is the continent with the least inhabitants in the world: No one can live long here. The world's lowest population density Groenland.

The farthest area is the uninhabited Norwegian island of Bouvet in the Southern Atlantic Ocean. The land closest to it is the South African coastline, which is also 1,700 km away and this coast is uninhabited.

The farthest inhabited land is the island of Tristan da Cunha, which is 98 km ² wide and has a population of only 350 people. The closest island, Saint-Hélène is also 2,120km away. In 1961 the inhabitants of Tristan da Cunha had to move to another place due to volcanic threats. By 1963 they returned to their homeland
