7:10 the island you zoomed in on is St Helena. I think you got it confused with Tristan De Cunah because the British south Atlantic islands (ignoring the Falklands) are known as St Helena, Ascension, and Tristan De Cunah as one collective even though they are all separate islands which are very far away from each other. You can actually visit St Helena quite easily now, as they opened the airport there a few years ago. When corona isn’t a thing you can get flights to there from Johannesburg.

I’ve been to supai. It was an amazing experience. It’s a whole other world to say the least. Everywhere you look is just casually a collection of the most beautiful sights you have seen. The article talks about it being an 8 mile hike. That is only partially correct. It is an 8 mile hike to the town of supai that is the supposed ‘gateway’ into the canyon. Then it was (for us) another 4 miles to get to the campsite. It’s steady downhill going into camp, but coming back out of the canyon is the most grueling uphill hiking. One of the best experiences of my life was going there and I hope I can again someday

One thing that Perth has that the others on that map do not is a heavily populated metropolitan area around it, with a total population of 2.1 million. The next-largest metropolitan area on that map is Honolulu, with about 950k people. Anchorage has a population of about 400k, while Reykjavik and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky each have populations under 250k. As far as cities with populations in the millions go, none is as isolated as Perth.

[@joshanderson9391]

Kamchatka is not connected by road to the rest of Russia. In fact the roads only go as far East as Magadan, there's still 2000km to go to get to the tip of eastern Russia from there

Speaking of islands owned by Yemen - there's one called Darsah which randomly has 65+ Taco Bells according to Google Maps. People have reported these Taco Bells for removal because the island is clearly uninhabited, but Google refuses to get rid of the Taco Bells and has actually reinstated some that were previously removed.

[@dadasmithywinkle]

I’m from Anchorage and it definitely feels isolated compared to anywhere else in the US that I’ve lived.

[@Kevin-kf9ct]

Kerguelen definitely is the most isolated place, but it does have a permanent garrison of around a hundred. It's interesting for a couple of reasons - firstly it's the top of a submerged minor continent - back in the ice age with lower sea levels it was a whole lot larger, and secondly it was one of the only places of any size discovered by Europeans outside Antarctica that didn't have a native population - to the degree that it was remarked about at the time.

[@TheRockyLeonFan]

This video is WRONG! You forget that places close to the north/south pole are portrayed on the map in much smaller scale than places around the equator. So If you take two ends of Antarctica (most easten and western point) it would be significantly shorter distance than if you'd take the same line between the two and move it closer to the equtor. Therefore the most isolated places so far south aren't that remote as they appear.
