REMOTE PLACES

HALSTATT, AUSTRIA

One of the largest swaths of undeveloped land in the world,

there is only one unpaved road leading into this place.

This extremely remote island is thousands of miles from basically

any substantial landmass. It only has 50 inhabitants and

ships only arrive every few months.

SUPAI, ARIZONA

This town located at the bottom of the Grand Canyon is so hard

to access that mail is still delivered by mule.

earthquake struck the region in 2006 there were no casualties.

CHANG TANG, TIBET

When a Swedish explorer crossed this peninsula he reported not

seeing a single person for over 2 months.

SOCOTRA ISLAND

Although these days it is not as isolated as some of the other places,

its historical remoteness have led to some crazy plant

permanently inhabited places on Earth at −69.2 °C (−93 °F).

THE FJORDS ON BAFFIN ISLAND
