Added on: 13th Oct 2016

 

MCMURDO STATION, ANTARCTICA

McMurdo Station

A research centre and a main community in Antarctica, the

world´s most isolated continent, the McMurdo Station is

operated by the US through the United States Antarctic

Program, a branch of the National Science Foundation.

Up to 1,258 residents can be accommodated at the station,

but they still have to deal with the extreme Antarctic climate.

 

 

ADAK, ALASKA

Adak

Located on the Adak Island, Alaska, Adak is the westernmost

municipality of the US. Inhabited by just over 300 people,

the town lies in a sub-polar oceanic climate zone,

characterized by persistently overcast skies, moderated

temperatures, high winds and frequent cyclonic storms.

With 263 rainy days per year, Adak has the second

highest precipitation in the US.

 

 

BANTAM VILLAGE, COCOS (KEELING) ISLANDS

Bantam Village

The largest settlement on the Cocos Islands, an Australian

territory in the Indian Ocean, the Bantam Village is where

most of the approximately 600 residents of the Cocos

Islands live. Lying in the tropical latitude, the Bantam Village

experiences warm and constant temperatures all year round.

 

 

SUPAI, ARIZONA

Supai

Found in the Coconino County, Arizona, Supai is one of the

most isolated towns in the US. With no roads leading to

the town, the only way to get there is to take a helicopter,

hike or ride a mule. The mail is also delivered by mule,

making Supai the only place in the US where mail is carried

this way. The population of the town is about 200.

 

 

FAROE ISLANDS, DENMARK

Faroe Islands

Situated approximately halfway between Norway and Iceland,

the Faroe Islands have been a self-governing country

within the Danish Realm since 1948. With a population of

just under 50,000, these remote islands are famous for the

fact there are more sheep than people living there. Another

animal typical of this secluded country is the Faroese puffin.

 

 

IQALUIT, CANADA

Iqaluit

Located on the south coast of the Baffin Island, Iqaluit is

the capital of the Canadian territory of Nunavut. Home to

less than 7,000 people, it has the distinction of being the

smallest Canadian capital and the only capital that is not

connected to other settlements by a highway. Due to its

remoteness, it is generally only accessible by

aircraft or boat.

 

 

LAURA, MARSHALL ISLANDS

Marshall Islands

Laura is an island and a little town situated in the Marshall Islands,

an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. At approximately 10ft (3m)

above sea level, Laura has one of the highest elevations

of any islands in the archipelago. It is one of a few places

where you can enjoy amazing beaches and pristine nature

without having to share it with crowds of tourists.

 

 

SVALBARD, NORWAY

Svalbard

Located about midway between continental Norway and the 

North Pole, the Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago in the

Arctic Ocean. Covering an area of over 61,000 sq. km (almost

24,000 sq. mi) but inhabited by just about 2,600 people, the

archipelago is mostly covered by glaciers. Its unique

location and remoteness makes it a great spot to watch

the Northern Lights.
