15 Isolated Communities At The Ends Of The Earth

If you’re the type of person that will never survive without the creature comforts provided by modern
technology, you won’t survive in this place. If you’re also the type of person who like to go out of town
every now and then to meet new people and have new experiences? I suggest don’t live in any of these
places. Number one is definitely the most isolated place on earth so stay tuned to find out where it is.
Here are 15 of the most isolated communities at the ends of the earth.

Coober Pedy, Australia
Coober Pedy, located 526 miles north of Adelaide, Australia, isn’t your typical town in every sense of the
word. For one, it’s right smack in the middle of the Australian outback, and two, most inhabitants of this
town live underground, literally.
This is a mining town and is known as the Opal capital of the World. In fact, 70% of the world’s opals
come from this place. The landscape is pockmarked with spent mines, giving the town an otherworldly
look, which is the perfect look for the location of the filming of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.
Remember when I said most of the town’s inhabitants live underground? Well, that is to escape the
heat. Also, residents have learned to use abandoned mines to build their homes.

Longyearbyen, Norway
What’s the coldest place you’ve been to? Wherever that place maybe, I bet it doesn’t even come close
to Longyearbyen, Norway. It’s the northernmost town in, not just Norway, but in the entire world.
Also, this probably the only town in the world where burying the dead is illegal. It’s so called here that
dead bodies do not decompose, so all bodies have to be flown to the mainland for burial.
Another thing unique about this isolated town is that all buildings here are built on stilts. This is to
prevent all the structures from sliding around when the topsoil melts every summer.

La Rinconada, Peru
To get here you only have one option; and that is to endure a 6 hour ride on unpaved roads, that is if
you can get a ride. That’s because it’s not really included in the regular bus routes. The ride isn’t only
rough, but it’s also a climb, as this town sits around 3 miles above sea level.
Located in Peru’s mountainous Puno province, La Riconada is so isolated that some creature comforts
that we enjoy every day doesn’t even exist there. The town has no running water nor a proper sewage
system. Also. 68% percent of the town’s residents live below the poverty line, according to the CNN,
which makes this place not only one of the remotest on earth, but also not an easy place to live in.

Bantam, Cocos Islands
For a change, here’s an isolated location where you might actually enjoy visiting. The Cocos Islands are
about 1,700 miles from Perth, from which there are flights twice a week, which is good for tourism.Here,
visitors can do a number of things such as kitesurfing, snorkeling, surfing, and bird watching.
Despite being a tourist destination, the Cocos Malay, the people inhabiting these islands, guard their
culture zealously and do not adapt well to modern culture. The isolation of their islands have helped
them keep their oral language and indigenous religious practices alive. Today, there are around 600
persons living permanently on the island.

Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada
Iqaluit city, formerly as Frobisher Bay, is the capital of the Nunavut territory and headquarters of the
Baffin region in Canada. It lies at the head of Frobisher Bay, on southeastern end of Baffin Island. Iqaluit
is the largest community in the eastern Canadian Arctic. Despite that, it only has a population of just
under 6700 people.
It was established as a trading post in 1914 and became an air base during World War II. It later was the
site of construction camps for the DEW or Distant Early Warning line of radar stations, and it also has a
meteorological station.
Tourists can go there but only by plane via Ottawa, which is 1300 miles away. When there, there’s only
one place to go; The Road to Nowhere, which is literally a road that leads to nowhere. Here, tourists can
walk, bike, drive, or ski until they end up, well, nowhere.

Tórshavn, Faroe Islands
Tórshavn is the smallest capital city in the world, but it packs a big punch — it's named after Thor, the
god of thunder and lightning in Norse mythology.
