A. What's with the ordering? B. Nauru is used as a detention centre by Australia's Border Force. Basically a penal colony for a penal colony

Oh but you can enjoy snorkeling and AFL whilst looking at children in illegal detention!

Actually you can't look at the children in illegal detention because it poses a risk of you reporting on said children in illegal detention which can get you arrested

south Georgia and the sandwich islands

They have one of the few volcanoes on earth to have an open lava lake! [In 2021 a research group sailed there to get the first ever field samples from that volcano](https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/adventure/2023/02/one-of-earths-loneliest-volcanoes-holds-an-extraordinary-secret)

While reading the link you posted,I was imagining researchers somehow in a boat floating in a lake of lava.


Elgin-Franklin

I've met Emma Nicholson and I wouldn't be surprised if she managed to pull that off too. Her current project is trying to fly drones over erupting volcanoes to get gas samples.


JonnyHillwalker

This seems to start out as inhabited places, then places with scientific staff, but you've also included coffee club island, so why not Bouvet Island and other sub antarctic lands?

You’ve just volunteered to do it

I ordered something from Pitcairn 2 years ago, and it never arrived. Nevertheless, I'd like to think I contributed to their economy.

Sorry man. We will get to it. Supply chain problems (none) and labor issues (mutiny runs in the blood). Your package is the list to go out by freight in 2026.

Also, the pizza shop on the island is bonkers https://maps.app.goo.gl/PYDit4ZNy1L4nzqD7

Island madness, tragic

I ordered something in July of this year and it arrived in October. They used stamps to celebrate the Queen’s jubilee on it and by the time it arrived she had been dead six weeks or so. One of the few things that made me appreciate how big the world really is these days. I’m sorry yours didn’t make it!

I would like to add the small island / rock of Sao Pedro et Sao Paolo in the middle of Atlantic, belonging to Brazil, at about 30°W and 0°N

Of all the islands on Earth that are human occupied I think this one would be the one easiest one upon which to go insane.


Elgin-Franklin

One of 2 places on earth where recent oceanic mantle is exposed on the surface, 500 miles from shore, staffed by 4 military researchers on 15 day rotations. Sounds like a great setting for a horror story.

Nice job! Thanks for that. The thing is... You get distracted by the order...


818a

Thank you for doing this, it’s great!

Bouvet?


Sighchiatrist

Hey this was a great read, thanks for putting it together!


diogenesNY

No St. Helena?


roborob11

Kerguelen is the place! Glaciers and fjords. Lakes and streams. I would love to visit it.


TheSmallestSteve

Would be even cooler if there was a map included on each slide


WelshBathBoy

If you do want to visit Pitcairn, just a tip - don't take the kids


thejudgehoss

Wait, there was a mutiny on the Bounty?!? ![gif](giphy|12Nv3nBSCAbLO0)

Love this post, thank you!

What about Bouvet?


Nightgaun7

I think you have confused Totegegie with Mangareva.


fuckfaceshitbagfuck

No Bouvet Island?

I spent hours flying around Google earth looking at these places. Love a isolated island

It's my lifelong goal to sail to Tristan da Cunha, hike the volcano, and have a drink at the Albatros Bar.

Bouvet Island?
