Needless to say, our world is huge! there is so much about it that we really have no concrete idea of! There are so many amazing communities we don't know the existence of! These are some of the most isolated ones right at the end of our world!

Utqiagvik, Alaska

The ninth northern most city in the world and the northern most American city is the place to be at if you love extremely cold weather. The only way to get here is by a flight! Although the weather is extreme, archeological evidence indicates that people have been thriving in the Utqiagvik region from as early as AD 500. Surprisingly, the city is full of all the modern world amenities!

Migingo Island, Africa

This photo says it all! Made up of mostly fishermen, a population of 500 lives on the island, which is roughly half an acre in size. It is an extremely compact fisherman slum with almost no accessibility for outsiders! Super isolated, isn't it?

Villa Las Estrellas, Antarctica

Needless to say, the seventh continent which also happens to be the coldest is super isolated! Though in Antarctica, Villa Las Estrellas is a Chilean town that is located on King George Island on the President Eduardo Frei Montalva Base. The population is small, with only 15 residents during the summer and 80 during the winter. People serving time on the base are only there for two years maximum before returning to the Chilean homeland. Interesting, right?

Coober Pedy, Australia

An isolated community is Australia? Yes, you read that right! The Australian Outback is one of the most hostile, unforgiving places on Earth with its red sand, scorching temperatures, and plethora of animals that makes life super duper unsafe here! Opals brought people to Coober Pedy. In 1915, a teenager discovered the gemstones there. His relatives and many other miners were looking for gold but instead struck an opal fortune. About 70 percent of the world’s opal production can be traced to this location in the middle of the Australian Outback. Coober Pedy also gained the title “Opal Capital of the World.” Sounds crazy for ure!

Tristan Da Cunha

Also known as the most isolated island in the world, life in Tristan Da Cunha is no joke! Tristan da Cunha lies 2,816 kilometers (1,750 mi) from South Africa and 3,360 kilometers (2,088 mi) from South America. The nearest landmass to Tristan is Saint Helena, which is a mere 2,430 kilometers (1,510 mi) from the island. If this isn't isolated, I don't know what is!

Palmerston Island

About 3,200 kilometers (2,000 mi) northeast of New Zealand sits the tiny island of Palmerston. Now here is an extremely interesting fact about this place. The population here is 62 and all the people belong to the same bloodline! The 62 inhabitants of the island can be traced back to just one person, William Marsters. As the first permanent inhabitant of the island, he took up residency there in 1863 with his Polynesian wife and her two cousins. It isn't easy to reach here at all!
