The world’s most remote island lies in the South Atlantic. It is
Bouvet Island. One of the most forbidding places on Earth; it is located 1700 km north of Antarctica, which is the nearest land mass.
The island lies in the middle of freezing vastness, like a speck of ice. Around Bouvet Island, it is possible to draw a circle of one thousand and six hundred kilometres radius -having an area of 8148102.6 square kilometres, or very nearly that of Europe- which contains no other land whatever.
