Tristan da Cunha, United Kingdom

The World’s Most Inaccessible Inhabited Island

Tristan da Cunha is considered the most inaccessible inhabited island in the world. The nearest neighboring territory is 1350 miles away and is the island of St. Helena, in the South Atlantic, which in turn is located at a distance of 1180 miles from the African continent. It has no airport, so it’s only accessible by sea. This British island is undoubtedly among the world’s most remote places. As so few inhabitants live here (about three hundred) inbreeding is not unusual, as well as genetic diseases. They also have their own language, a dialect of English.
