@theiaincameron This was just posted by another account yesterday. Why is all content recycled unoriginal stuff?

The most isolated settlement in the world is the fabulously titled Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, on Tristan da Cunha, a tiny island deep in the south Atlantic. The settlement is roughly 2,800 kilometres (1,750 miles) from South Africa and over 3,200 kilometres (2,000 miles) from South America. There is no airport on the island. The only way to reach it is by a six-to-seven-day boat journey from Cape Town, South Africa, on ships that typically only visit about 8 to 12 times per year. Most residents are descendants of just 15 original settlers from the 19th century, and only seven family surnames currently exist on the island (Glass, Swain, Green, Rogers, Hagan, Repetto, and Lavarello).
