8 of the most remote places in the world

Today's world is full of stress, rush and crowding. Every day you repeat your routine and wonder: Could I live at least one day away from it all?

Considering then all aspects of modern life, we gather here 8 of the most remote places on the face of the earth, in different aspects. Maybe you fit some standards, don't you?

1 - Svalbarg Archipelago

This island belonging to the Norwegian government is the closest territory to the North Pole. With about 3, 000 inhabitants, the place has at least 60% of the surface covered with ice and permafrost. In addition, human life is well divided with polar bears, seals, reindeer and various birds surrounding the region.

Winters can be as low as 14 degrees, while summer is around 6 degrees. Although remote, it has a variety of artistic attractions, as well as typical restaurants and bars. The name of the island was first described in 12th century Icelandic texts and means "cold coastline".

2 - Madagascar

We all remember the Dreamworks movie very well, right? Yes, but no and about the movie we will talk about. Madagascar is an island in southeastern Africa where endemic and unique species of animals are found, including endangered species.

Considering all these aspects, we can see that Madasgacar is extremely wild when it comes to nature, always surrounded by tightly closed jungles and many wild animals around. Also, people there live on an average of $ 2 a day. To distract themselves, the population plays sports such as soccer, rugby and bowling.

3 - Iqaluit

This city in the state of Nunavut, Canada, is the city with the smallest population in the country. Most of the inhabitants are indigenous to the Inuit people, native to the polar regions, but there are also people from other ethnic groups, such as blacks, whites, Asians and even Latin Americans.

If you don't like a lot of traffic and sometimes hurry, Iqaluit can be a great place, as besides being the only city in Canada without a highway, there are almost no road signs there. For those who want to work, the region can be very good, as work is not lacking, as well as good salaries.

4 - Perth

Perth is Australia's fourth largest city, all developed, beautiful and with everything a city should have to be considered large. And you don't have to worry, because from there you can go anywhere in Australia with no problem.

Unless you decide to go by car, motorcycle or any transportation other than the plane. This is because Perth is on the west coast of this continental country, a wilderness area. To go to the capital, it is necessary to face about 3 thousand kilometers, passing through a desert, with scorching sun. The nearest large city is Adelaide, which is at least 2, 000 kilometers away.

5 - Funafuti

Capital of the island of Tuvalu, which has an incredible 26 km², it could never be discovered or visited if there were no planes. The closest place to this narrow town is Fiji Island, which is 1, 000 kilometers from Tuvalu.

About 6, 000 people inhabit Funafuti. The place is so remote that it receives less than one tourist per day, the average is 350 per year. The island was originally inhabited about 2, 000 years ago by natives from nearby islands. It was seen by European navigators in the 16th century and invaded in the 19th century. Its inhabitants were even enslaved.

6 - Nuuk

Capital and largest city on the largest island in the world - Greenland - friendly Nuuk is the northernmost capital of the world. Even being remote and hard to reach, the local people of Nuuk are not even that inaccessible - Ittoqqortoormiit, which I can't even pronounce, would be more.

As it turns out, as a capital city, Nuuk is of greater importance and is much more sought after than other cities in Greenland. To reach this location, one must go through Iceland or Copenhagen, Denmark. Leaving there are also other “five hundred”, because the place is surrounded by ice and permafrost, and has no roads, which makes it difficult to get around.

7 - Yakutsk

If you like the cold, I advise you to look for this city, capital of Yakutia, Siberia. Besides being far away, the place is just the coldest on the planet. Getting there is not easy. The only existing road can only be used in winter, which is when rivers freeze, because breaking such a river is asking to die frozen.

So yes, by the river you can go in the "summer", navigating over 1.6 thousand kilometers. If you are bored, you can catch a plane in Moscow and stay 6 hours inside it, traveling almost 5, 000 kilometers until you reach your destination.

Once you are there - if you can make it - you will experience a cold of minus 50 degrees most of the year and, in summer, minus 30 degrees. Nice weather, no?

8 - Socotra or Socotora

One more set of islands to our list. Socotra is located in the Indian Ocean and features a variety of endemic plants - which are found only there - which makes the place special and exotic.

Because they are isolated and have exotic species and unique vegetation, the islands are called the original Garden of Eden. The population is estimated at 40, 000 people, who share their lives with a unique nature.
