Town alienated in the world

in #eateem7 years ago

Fortunately we are Indonesians living on the equatorial gems. Located in one of the most strategic positions in the world with a vast array of natural resources. To go to various neighboring countries was not difficult. You are a hobby of traveling would know it and often use it.

But, in this vast world, there are some areas or cities that are very remote location. To achieve it takes days. Even the population is not more than all the students on your campus! Here are some of them, IDN Times summarizes for you.

Edinburgh of Seven Seas, Tristan Da Cunha takes six days aboard to reach it!

Even hear the name of the country Tristan da Cunha you may never have ya. This city is the main settlement of the country. The population is approximately 300 people! Distance to the nearest center of civilization, the island of Saint Helena, is 2,173 kilometers.

The quickest way to get to Edinburg of Seven Seas is a six-day sea journey. Uniquely, there is an active volcano in the middle of the island. Anti-mainstream really.

Whittier, Alaska, almost all residents live in one building only!

It is located at the end of the Passage Canal, the state of Alaska, USA. There is only a 4-kilometer one-way tunnel that is the only entrance and exit from the city.

Because of its very small population, only about 200 people, most of the population lives in only one 14-storey building in the picture above. Wow, must know all the neighbors of one city.

Villa Las Entrelas is one of only two civilian settlements in Antarctica

Actually living on the Antarctic continent alone is making a surprise yes, let alone build a settlement there. Not surprised if Villa Las Entrelas managed to be one of the most isolated cities in the world.

The population is only about 100 people. Villa Las Entrelas is one of only two civilian settlements on the Antarctic continent. Hhmm ... just fine.

La Rinconada, Peru, a dense settlement located above the clouds

This one city population is not too little anyway, only about 50 thousand inhabitants. However, it does not mean La Rinconada is not isolated. This city is the highest human settlement in the world because it is located at 17,000 feet (about 5 kilometers) above sea level. It deserves to be covered with ice.

In addition, the city has no water flow or sewage system. Wow, how does that sound so hard? Do you want to stay here?

Shiva Oasis, Egypt, beautiful but surrounded by miles of desert

Siwa Oasis City is a blend of natural beauty and historical relics. As you can see, there are many ruins of ancient relics that are still preserved here, producing the effect of going back to ancient times. The population of this city is only 23 thousand people only.

What makes this town isolated is because it is surrounded by miles of Sahara desert. Recently solar panels were built to provide electricity to the region. In addition, cell phone signals also do not reach this area, you know! Really like going back in time yes.

Well, of the seven lists above, you most want to visit which one? If indeed a true traveler, would be more challenged dong want to explore the area seterpencil anything. Maybe you will get a valuable life story while trying to reach the most isolated places in the world! When else is it, right?
