for my next vacation!!!
What's the most remote inhabited location on Earth? A place
called Tristan da Cunha. The approximately 270 residents of this
archipelago see a mail ship only once a year.Tristan da Cunha is located at 37 South and 12 West, 1,242 miles (2,000
kilometers) from St. Helena and 1,739.8 miles (2,800 kilometers) from
the nearest mainland, the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa. Tristan is
circular in shape and is about 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) in diameter
with a total area of only about 30 square miles (78 square kilometers).
The summer season falls between December and March. During the winter
months, the central volcanic peak of Tristan, which rises to a height of
6,594 feet (2,010 meters), is covered in snow. Tristan da Cunha, the
main island, is the only inhabited island in the chain. The other
islands that make up the archipelago -- Nightingale, Stoltenhof, Gough,
Middle and the appropriately named Inaccessible -- are not populated
by humans.
