The World’s Most Isolated Destinations: Pitcairn Island

by Mike Richard

Instatravel points us to Pitcairn Island: A World Apart, complete with surreal photos:

Searching for the most isolated place on the planet is becoming more and more of a problem. An island with a population of just fifty seems unlikely in today’s world, but it does exist.

…

Pitcairn remains one of the most isolated habited places on earth. Since Pitcairn lies outside the normal shipping navigation paths, contact with the island is sporadic at best. Pitcairn visitors must obtain arrange to stay with native families, and written permission from the government is required to visit the island.

That’s my kind of vacation.
