Where Is the Remotest Piece of Land on Earth?
If you wanted to get away from it all, the best place on earth to go would probably be a small island in the South Atlantic Ocean called Bouvet Island.
This island was discovered in 1739, but not a single person lives there today. Bouvet lies about 1,050 miles away from the nearest piece of land — but that land, in Antarctica, is uninhabited too!
The remotest piece of land where people actually live is Tristan da Cunha, a small island in the South Atlantic. The 250 people who live there left in 1961 because of a volcano on the island, but returned two years later.
Their nearest neighbors are on the island of St. Helena, about 1,320 miles away!
