The most private place on the Earth has been found

It all sounds very 'romantic' and generally light-hearted but the reality is not quite like that! There seems to be no mention of the word Antarctic which is a strange omission! Soon after their discovery, the archipelago was regularly visited by whalers and sealers (mostly British, American and Norwegian) who hunted the resident populations of whales and seals to the point of near extinction, including fur seals in the 18th century and elephant seals in the 19th century. . Since the end of the whaling and sealing era, most of the islands' species have been able to increase their population again.

I don't really need to go to that island. I am 97 ,live alone , love it and have many many hours on my own ,the peace is divine ,it keeps me sane .I'm surrounded by a lovely garden with lots of wildlife,a piano to play and my dearest daughter is not far away if I need her .Why shouldn't I be contented and so thankful .

There is an island a little more tropical that you can tend a light house for awhile. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve heard about this opportunity so I don’t know if it’s still available. It’s on Logger Head Key, just off of Ft Jefferson in the Florida Keys.

Not for me. And how can you have 6 nights there on your own, if the ship only comes by once every 3 months??

I don't want to go!

Don't know how I feel as photos didn't load.

Who proof read this? The grammer is terrible!

It doesn't sound too perfect to me.

A German surface raider stopped there for a few days in WWII, for the crew to replenish its water supply. They accomplished the task in an inlet just offshore, by connecting and laying hose lines up a creek and let water run into it. Gravity directed the water to the hose's other end, in the ship.

Iancompat, we are all foreigners at some time or another, unless we live by the dictum that travel is in grave danger of broadening the mind.

Does not sound like an ideal place to me. These islands, appear from pictures and a very informative comment below, should be a sanctuary and breeding area for wildlife and scientific study. My personal view, keep settlers/potential settlers away and don't encourage adventure prone tourists. Some places on earth should be kept untouched as possible by humans.

The German auxiliary cruiser "Atlantis" stopped there in WWII for fresh water & ship maintenance. Sounded like a rather bleak place

Bit like Australian quarrantine. Only it takes longer to get to Australia. It seems Citizens are no longer welcome.

I am Not a loner Not for me I pas

Doesn’t sound too interesting. Not that great of weather & windy all the time? It would be boring.

I'd have to have one other companion.
