“Oh, I wish I could give up everything and go to the ends of the world!” - perhaps this thought came to almost everyone’s mind. But our overpopulated planet is literally bursting at the seams with 7.3 billion people, and it seems that a secluded corner is simply impossible. But, as they say, you need to know the places! And today there are corners of the Earth that are practically untouched by man, but getting to them is sometimes difficult.

1. Svalbard / Spitsbergen (Svalbard), Norway
The Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard is located in the Arctic Ocean approximately halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole. The area of more than 61,000 km² is home to only 2,600 people, as the archipelago is mainly covered by glaciers. The unique location and remoteness make Svalbard great place to watch the northern lights.
While most of us perceive the Internet, Cell phones, cable television as a matter of course, we forget that there are remote corners of the planet where there is not even such a thing as electricity. For some, the problem of survival is much more pressing than any kind of convenience.
10. Kake, Alaska
Kake, Alaska, is a small community located approximately 114 km from Juneau, the state capital. It doesn't seem too far away, but the only way to get to or leave Cake is by sea or air. It is home to approximately 650 Tlingit (Native American people) who are known for their strong connection to the land. Tlingit communities are scattered throughout Alaska, from north coast Canada and all the way to Oregon in the USA.
To get to the village you will need to book a charter plane, take an air taxi or use Alaska's Marine Highway System. There are two regular flights per week between Cake and the mainland - one goes north, the other goes south. There is no special station building, just a canopy over the loading point.
There are rental cars, kayaks and residential houses, but banking is not developed in the small fishing village. So they only accept cash here.
Cake's remoteness makes him quite dangerous place. Recently the city was shocked by the murder of a 13-year-old girl. The only representatives of the law here are patrol officers, but they cannot quickly get to the scene due to the lack of roads. Therefore, a group of volunteers had to watch near the victim’s body all night until the patrol officers arrived.
Rural Alaska is breathtakingly beautiful. But law enforcement is a big problem here, and places like Cake have 12 times more attacks than the rest of the country. Kake is just one of 75 small villages with similar problems - they are remote, they do not have their own law enforcement agencies, and there is not even a road to reach them. The emergency response time is one and a half days; as a result, the population must be able to fend for itself.
9. Pitcairn Island, southern part Pacific Ocean
The tiny South Pacific island is home to about 50 people and the British overseas territory is now attracting immigrants to rebuild its population. This is quite difficult, since the island can only be reached by water, and a supply ship arrives only once every three months or so. Until 2002, the only connection with outside world here was carried out through amateur radio communications. The islanders have rich, fertile lands, minimal pollution, amazing beautiful beaches, diverse marine life and fascinating history.
In 1790, Pitcairn Island was settled by mutineers from the Bounty ship serving in the armed forces of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain. Under the leadership of Fletcher Christian, the European settlers removed everything they could from the ship before setting it on fire, and made sure that the burning ship would not be seen or found by anyone. Christian himself died a few years later, but today's population of the island is mainly the descendants of those rebels and the 18 Polynesians they brought with them from Tahiti.
Their existence might have gone unnoticed for many years if the island had not been accidentally spotted by an American whaling ship in 1808. The settlers would never return to the mainland, but in 1814 two British ships made their way to them, who not only learned about the island, but also found out what happened to the warship Bounty.
Today the island has its own holidays and traditions, and everyday life The islanders' activities revolve around fishing, diving and gardening.
8. Illokqortoormiut, Greenland
Greenland itself is quite remote, and the oddly named Illokqortoormiut is its most remote town. Situated deep in the world's largest fjord, the city is cut off from the rest of the world for about 9 months a year - as long as the ocean around it is covered with ice. The city was founded in 1925; currently there are 450 people living here who live by fishing and hunting.
The lack of benefits of civilization is compensated by purity and breathtaking beauty. There is only one grocery store in town, but it is just a stone's throw from the highest of all Arctic mountains, Gunbjorn. There are several uninhabited settlements nearby, including one that was built near Greenland's hottest spring (620 degrees Celsius), Uunartok. In recent years, city residents have added another source of income to their lifestyle - tourism.
Travelers can rent a kayak or dog sled, go hiking, get up close and personal with Arctic wildlife, and get a front-row seat to the Northern Lights.
7. Supai, Arizona
United States - last place, where you might be looking for an isolated village, but the Supai Indian settlement is just that. She's in the middle national park The Grand Canyon, in Arizona, and like most places here, is breathtaking.
The village is home to the Havasupai tribe, which translates to “people of the turquoise water.” Being in Grand Canyon on one of the Colorado's largest tributaries, the village is surrounded by countless waterfalls, stunning rivers, azure travertines, blue skies and the vibrant, colorful rock formations only found in the deserts of the American Southwest.
The village of Supai can only be reached by taking an eight-mile hike through the canyon or by renting mules, which are usually used to transport essentials back and forth. You can also fly by helicopter and enjoy stunning views. It's the only place in the country where mail is delivered by mules, and it's a constant draw for tourists—about 20,000 people a year come from all over the world to brave the Arizona sun.
The city itself is not growing, and for tourists there is only a hostel with 25 rooms and a restaurant. And therefore, most visitors prefer to stay in less remote and more accessible nearby areas. In addition, those visiting the village should be prepared to carry everything they need: camping gear, clothing and plenty of water for the long trek in the heat.
Due to the village's location in a canyon and near the sometimes unpredictable Colorado River, flash floods occur here. But the risk is worth it to see the breathtaking waterfalls of Havasu Falls and the 200-meter Mooney Falls.
6. Aucanquilcha Volcano, Chile
The 6176-meter peak was inhabited until the 1990s. Aucanquilcha has been the highest inhabited area since 1913. There was a mining village located here, located just below the sulfur mine. In 1993, work was stopped, and most of the artificial roads in the mountains were destroyed by landslides.
In theory, it is quite possible to drive uphill along the remaining roads. The volcano last erupted less than 1,000 years ago and earthquakes occur periodically. When the settlement first began, the lack of oxygen forced the use of animals, such as llamas, instead of machines, and the replacement of devices powered by gasoline engines with systems based on pulleys and ropes.
The village was located near the youngest and largest volcano in the region, which is still showing signs of life, and the remains of a mining village still remain there.
The area is also vulnerable to unpredictable storms and violent winds, making already harsh conditions even harsher. At this altitude, the human body is forced to adapt to the lack of oxygen, which can take several days. This usually means difficulty breathing, swelling of the limbs, and poor sleep. But all these signs may disappear as soon as a person gets used to the height.
5. Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, Tristan da Cunha
Tristan da Cunha is the most remote inhabited island in the world. It is home to approximately 270 people who farm and live in an area of approximately 100 square kilometers. Their settlement is called Edinburgh of the Seven Seas.
The island is British overseas territory. The settlers took the opportunity to establish some special rules. All lands are communal, and families cooperate, sharing not only work, but also profits. The island has one road, electricity is generated by generators, and food at the only grocery store must be ordered months in advance. There is no airport, and the only way to get to the island is by boat. The trip takes seven days - from Cape Town in South Africa.
The island was discovered in 1506 by a Portuguese sailor and named after him. This is 1,750 km from South Africa and 2,088 km from South America - only recently the settlement received an index, because before that mail was mistakenly sent not to the islanders, but to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Every month on the island there are approximately 20 rainy days. It is located near active volcano, which last erupted in 1961. But the townspeople love this way of life, and almost everyone who was evacuated after the eruption returned home as soon as they received permission to do so.
4. Villages of Krasnoyarsk
The city of Krasnoyarsk itself is one of the largest and most populated cities in Siberia, but there are a number of small villages in remote areas of the region with only a couple of houses and a few inhabitants. The region, known for its harsh winters and scorching summers, also has another rather strange problem in its remote villages - mostly men live alone.
Small remote villages are so remote that until 2013 no one knew there was anyone there at all. In the entire region there are almost 200,000 more women than the stronger sex, but not in the most deserted villages.
In Lokatuy, Kasovo and Novy Lokatuy there is only one resident each, a little more in Ilyinka - three men. There are a few more villages with four or five inhabitants, but those who live in these most remote areas of Siberia live a very long time. There are more than 70 people in the entire region who are over 100 years old.
3. Layamanu, Australia
Australia is, for the most part, a vast expanse that is largely uninhabited, unexplored and undeveloped. Scattered throughout these expanses are a large number of villages where aboriginal natives live. Relatively recently, an amazing village was created here - Layamanu.
About 700 people live here. Laiamanu is 550 kilometers from the nearest town. There are no normal roads, so those who want to get to the village are forced to make quite a dangerous journey through wild, uninhabited terrain. Once a week, a truck delivers food to the village's only store, and electricity comes from several solar panels and one generator. The village itself has quite tragic story. It was created in 1948 by the Australian government in an attempt to resettle overcrowded areas. The first settlers were not volunteers, they were resettled by force, however, those who wanted to return to civilization were able to do so.
It was not until 1970 that the village began to resemble anything resembling a normal community. And in 2013, the village attracted the attention of linguists because of the language formed there.
Cases of language extinction are not so rare, but the formation of a new one is of interest. The children of Layamanu began to speak a completely new language, with different dialects and rules. It began when adults communicated with their children in a mixture of their native language - Walbiri - with English, along with several others. Linguists were fascinated by the development of this new language because it was neither Creole nor a mixture of words and rules from other dialects. The new language is spoken by those under 35 years old; linguists associate its emergence with remoteness settlement.
2. Baktia, Siberia
This Siberian village is home to approximately 300 people, giving new meaning to the word remote. There is no running water, no telephone, no immediate access to hospitals or other medical care. The entire territory is covered with ice and snow, which retreats only for a few months of the year - the rest of the time the temperature is below zero. You can only get there by boat or helicopter, and only if the weather permits.
Families who live in sub-zero temperatures in Siberia became the subjects of the documentary film " Happy people: a year in the taiga." The footage, filmed by a director who lived in this village for a year, shows a way of life that has not changed in several hundred years. These people have a close connection to the land, they rely on their dogs for hunting and for survival, making a living from hunting, fishing, and farming. Today their lives have become easier thanks to chainsaws and snowmobiles, but otherwise their way of life and their values are closer to our ancestors than ours.
This is a way of life that looks completely alien to modern man, when longer and colder nights indicate that survival is now the main problem for these people.
All this seems wild to the Western world, for which the most pressing problems are connecting to digital television and choosing dishes for dinner. In Baktia, residents do during the summer large reserves so that they would be enough for the endless days of winter darkness.
1. Palmerston, Cook Islands
It is called “The Island at the End of the Earth”.
Palmerston in the Cook Islands is visited twice a year by a supply ship. About 60 people live here, all of them descendants of the first settler, William Masters, who settled on the island in 1863. He left his first wife and two children in England, began relationships with three Polynesian women and made Palmerston his home. By the time he died in 1899, he had 17 children and 54 grandchildren. Now the number of his descendants numbers in the thousands, but only a few remained to live on this paradise island.
There are two telephones on the island and even Internet access - although only for 4 hours a day. There is also electricity, but also only for a couple of hours a day. Its location was accurately mapped in 1969, and even today traveling there by boat can take days over rough seas.
Palmerston is one of a group of islands connected by a coral reef, which has brought a lot of trouble to sailors. Officially, this is the territory of New Zealand, but in fact it is run by one family, which annually receives a fairly large number of brave tourists who decide to undertake this journey. Islanders need money only when contacting the “outside world.” They do not use them among themselves. They get it by exporting coconut oil, a product of coconut palms that Masters planted.
The main street of the settlement is, at its core, a simple strip of sand.

Is this what you were looking for? Perhaps this is something you couldn’t find for so long?
However, there are still some places that remain shrouded in mystery, simply because they are extremely difficult to get to.
If you have enough time, finance and know-how, and if you are drawn to unprecedented distances and are drawn to adventure, then here is a list of the top 10 most inaccessible places on the ground:
10. Easter Island
Also known as Rapa Nui, or in Spanish Isla de Pascua. This is a Chilean island located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. It is famous for its 887 surviving statues, called moai. They were scattered around the island. An area of 163.6 square kilometers was listed world heritage UNESCO and is considered the most remote inhabited island in the world.
9. Alert, Canada
Located on Ellesmere Island, Nunavut Canada, this place is considered the northernmost settlement in the world. With a population of only 5 inhabitants (2011), the base is located 817 kilometers (508 miles) from the North Pole. This area is home to various weather stations and radio communications, such as the Canadian Weather Station, Global Atmospheric Laboratory Service and Airport Alert.
8. Tristan da Cunha
This volcanic group of islands is part of a British Overseas Territory and the most remote inhabited archipelago on Earth. The site is located in the South Atlantic Ocean 2,816 kilometers (1,750 miles) from South Africa. Main Island Tristan da Cunha has an area of 98 square kilometers and a resident population of 275 people (2009). There is no airport on the island; it can only be reached by sea.
7. McMurdo Station
The American Antarctic Research Center is the largest community in Antarctica. It is located at the southern tip of the Ross Glacier, Antarctica. McMurdo Station is home to a population of approximately 1,258 residents in more than 100 buildings, and also has a harbor, three airfields (two seasonal) and a helipad.
6. Angel Falls
Also known as Kerepakupai vena, which means "Waterfall of the Deepest Place". This is the tallest continuous waterfall in the world. The water falls from a staggering 979 m (2,648 ft) above the edge of Mount Auyantepui. It got its name in honor of Jimmy Angel, the US pilot who was the first to fly over this waterfall. This place remains one of the most inaccessible on Earth due to dense jungle and lack of means of transportation.
5. Bouvet
An uninhabited subantarctic island located in the South Atlantic Ocean and the southern part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It is a dependent territory of Norway. The abandoned volcanic island was first sighted on January 1, 1739 by French commander Jean-Baptiste Charles Bouvet de Lozier, and later became a Norwegian overseas territory in 1928. It is noteworthy that the island was mentioned in the film Aliens vs. Predators. And although this is not a battlefield between two alien species, on February 21, 2012, the Hanse crew left a time capsule here that will be opened in 2062.
4. Point Nemo
An oceanic pole of relative inaccessibility, often called Point Nemo. This is the farthest place in the ocean from land. It is located in the South Pacific Ocean, (48°52.6"S 123°23.6"W) or 2688 km (1670 mi) to the nearest land. Point Nemo got its name from the fictional character of Jules Verne, the main character of the book “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” (1870) Captain Nemo.
3. Tau Tona Mine
The world's deepest mining site today is 3.8 km (2.4 mi) deep. It is located in Carletonville, which is west of Johannesburg, South Africa and is one of the three deepest mines. Tau Tona, the City of Gold, goes so deep into the bowels of the earth that the temperature inside can rise to life-threatening levels.
2. Naica Crystal Cave
This giant cave natural crystals, including the largest ever found. It is located adjacent to the city of Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico. The cave was discovered by miners during excavations of a new tunnel in 2000. It has the shape of a horseshoe. Temperatures reach up to 58 °C (136 °F) and humidity ranges from 90 to 99 percent. Without proper protective equipment, people can only stay inside for about ten minutes due to the high temperature. It is noteworthy that access to the cave is provided through the pumping activities of the mining company. If it stops, the cave will again plunge under water.
