Some people just need to get away from it all every now and then, but while most of us are satisfied with a weekend trip to the mountains, others take the more committed route of moving out into the wild. They choose to live and work in places where human interaction is super scarce. While the idea of living in such isolated communities may seem great to some of you introvert nerds, survival there is not easy. Let's have a look at the ten most isolated communities people have inhabited!
Number 10. Supai Village, Arizona
Supai village is not a popular place, but trust me, it made this list for a reason. It is located in a side branch of the Grand Canyon, popularly called Havasu Canyon. This isolated community consists of members of the Havasupai tribe. This village is as old as 800 years. The villagers here are mainly hunters, and during the summer season, they irrigate their farms.
The Havasupai people are popularly called the people of blue-green waters. Supai village was greatly affected by the land grabbing policy of the United States in the 1800s. As a result, this village moved from having 1.6 million acres of land to 518 acres. The village now has a small landmass, but the inhabitants are having the best time of their lives. There are about 208 residents in this village, and these residents still receive their mails by mule. You heard me, right! Every year, tourists troupe into this small village to have a feel of its serenity, but getting into the village is not an easy task because the road that leads to it is not properly made.
Number 9. Coober Pedy, Australia
The Australian Outback is one of the most hostile, unforgiving places on Earth, with its high temperature, red sand, and animals that can easily kill you. So must be wondering who in their right mind world live there, but Australians are known for being different. The people of Coober Pedy have avoided all those difficulties by going underground because why not. About 70 percent of the world's opal production can be traced to this location in the middle of the Australian Outback. Coober Pedy also gained the title "Opal Capital of the World."
The scorching heat is hard to mine, so to avoid that, people take up residence in underground homes called dugouts that keep them warm at night and cool during the day. Two thousand five hundred permanent residents of Coober Pedy are still thriving in their underground world. Approximately 60 percent of the population of this industrious town is of European descent, and over 45 nationalities make up the community. Coober Pedy has all basic services, including water, electricity, law and order, medical facilities, and education. The hospital has 24 beds and works with other medical practices in nearby locations. Tourism is a big part of their economy there
Number 8. Tristan Da Cunha
At number 8, we have the Tristan da Cunha, which is the world's most remote populated island in the entire world. This island pitches its tent in the middle of the Atlantic. But why would someone choose to live in the middle of the Atlantic? I don't know either, but while you are thinking about it, listen to a more intriguing piece of information. It lies 2,816 kilometers from South Africa and 3,360 kilometers from South America. Saint Helena is the closest place to this island, and even at that, the distance is about 2,430 meters apart. Tristan da Cunha discovered this island in 1506. Because he was unable to access the island for fear that the water was unsafe, he named the island after himself and left. In 1816, the United Kingdom annexed this island, and today, the island boasts of a population of 267 people. Unlike many islands, this island is equipped with amenities like a hospital, grocery store, dental clinic, etc.
Number 7. Barrow, Alaska
No road leads to this deserted place. The town is accessible only by plane but the 90 minutes flight is worth it. It sits at the top of Alaska, and the winter boasts 65 days of darkness. This means that after sunset in November, residents don't see daylight until January. Because of its isolated location, the cost of living is high. Some foods do not survive extreme weather conditions, and as such, only limited meals are served here. The remote town is home to the Inupiat people and scientists who came to work.
