videos for this list we're visiting some
of the most isolated and/or difficult to
reach destinations around the world
which offer much to travelers in terms
of culture and natural appeal long
Latvian Norway home to 2368 people this
isolated town is the largest of its kind
this close to the North Pole most people
are unfamiliar with long European by
name but it's part of the more
recognizable Norwegian archipelago of
Spawn bar using the town as a home base
travelers can enjoy all that this rugged
land of ice fjords and northern greenery
has to offer by engaging in some of the
local outdoor activities snowmobiling
kayaking biking and cross-country are
all popular depending on the season
because of its remote location and harsh
climate Longyearbyen has some rather
specific laws these include monthly
limits on alcohol a ban on cats and it
being mandatory to carry a rifle for
protection against polar bears perhaps
most notably it's illegal to bury the
dead on the island because of permafrost
the bodies don't decompose and thus pose
a health risk
Easter Island Chile this destination
requires little introduction but while
it's undeniably a popular tourist
attraction and likely to be more crowded
than other places on our list today that
doesn't make it any less remote Easter
Island is technically a part of Chile
despite lying 2,182 miles away it's
actually located within the same
geographic region as Australia and
Oceania and serves as the northeastern
extremity of the Polynesian triangle
historically home to an industrious
Polynesian culture Easter Island was
reduced to just 111 inhabitants by the
late 19th century today its population
numbers 7750 but
the closest neighboring town of at least
500 people is 1619 miles away so yep
it's real remote the starring attraction
of Easter Island is of course the
collection of moai statues but the
landscape is stunning in its own right
there are also petroglyphs and caves
that provide further insight into the
island's mysterious past but I Scotland
among the southernmost island of the
other Hebrides but is home to 1170 for
people unlike throughout most of
Scotland here Scottish Gaelic remains a
widely spoken language named in honor of
Saint Finbar of Cork but I is only
accessible via small propeller planes
and only at certain times of day the
operating hours of the runway are
ever-changing being dictated by the
tides because bodies airport's runway is
actually a stretch of beach that's only
exposed at low tide inconvenient
maybe but also a result but I boasts one
of the most beautiful landing / takeoff
experiences of any airport on earth once
you're there you're sure to fall under
the spell of this remote landscape from
the beautiful beaches and rolling green
hills to the scenic viewpoints and the
charming village of Castle Bay Bob
Marshall wilderness Montana encompassing
over 1 million acres of land in the
state of Montana the Bob Marshall
wilderness area is the ultimate American
escape named after the co-founder of the
Wilderness Society and renowned
conservationist the area officially
became a protected wilderness space in
1964 what sets it apart from other green
spaces like national and state parks is
that it is roadless and is legally
protected from any such construction
this gives it a remote quality rarely
seen in America the landscape consists
of snow topped mountains dramatic cliffs
flower covered metal and dense forests
lakes and numerous waterfalls as for
permanent residents it's home to bighorn
sheep
Wolverine Eagles Cougars wolf elk moose
mountain goats and more including a
sizable population of grizzly bears
motor vehicles and bicycles are strictly
off-limits but camping hunting and
fishing
are permitted Madagascar located off the
eastern coast of Africa Madagascar is
the second largest island nation in the
world having split from the gun wanna
supercontinent some eighty eight million
years ago
Madagascar bears many signs of having
evolved in isolation from the rest of
Africa as evidenced by its distinct
flora and fauna one of the most uniquely
biodiverse destinations on earth
Madagascar is home to a staggering
variety of wildlife an estimated 90% of
which is exclusive to the island but
that's just one among a myriad of
appealing reasons to consider making the
trip dense tropical jungle sandstone
canyons arid desert pristine white sand
beaches the landscape is every bit as
diverse as the animals you'll encounter
but arguably the most iconic attraction
is the recognizable bail BAP trees for
those looking for a unique remote
adventure Madagascar is a great choice
marble caves chili we usually like to
limit our international lists to one
entry per country but considering Easter
Island is thousands of miles away from
mainland Chile we're making an exception
found in the Patagonia region of
southern Chile the marble caves look
like something out of a sci-fi film or
surrealist painting these distinctive
rock formations found on general carrera
island are the result of thousands of
years worth of erosion columns tunnels
and caverns abound but three of the most
recognizable formations are the cave the
chapel and the cathedral because of the
mineral makeup of the local rock that
surrounds this glacier lake the caves
are not only fascinating in terms of
shape but color to the reflections of
the water further adds to their visual
interest
general Carrera Lake is located in the
heart of Patagonia and is by no means
easily accessible but this site is well
worth the effort see wha Oasis Egypt an
oasis is by definition remote but this
isn't just a small watering hole and an
accompanying palm tree like in the
movies this is a city in the desert
first settled all the way back in 10,000
BCE
and with a storied history to match the
CYO asus is today home to a population
of about 30,000 people because the
surrounding oceans of sand have been
historically difficult to traverse sea
was culture is distinct from the rest of
Egypt not only in terms of the local
Berber amaz eared customs but language
as well the local dialect c1 is unique
to the Oasis and remains the dominant
language despite greater connection with
the outside world in recent years fed by
approximately 200 Springs CYO asus is
truly a desert paradise and one of the
most highly local travel experiences in
the world
Pitcairn Islands an overseas territory
of the UK located in the South Pacific
