The Loneliest Place On Earth
With the world’s population closing in on 8 billion, it’s difficult to believe there are many remote areas around the globe yet to be reached by anyone. So how far away can you get from everybody else? For starters, the most remote area inhabited by people is the tiny island of Tristan Da Cunha and its 264 residents. The nearest population of humans is 1,243 miles away on the island of St. Helena, and the closest continent is Africa, 1,491 miles eastward. But far and away the most remote and loneliest place on earth is in the Pacific Ocean, a mind-boggling 1,671 miles away from the closest inhabited Polynesian territory of Easter Island. Find out the details in this episode of Real Life Lore.
