Tristan da Cunha is recognized as the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world.

Located in the South Atlantic Ocean, it is part of a British overseas territory. The main island, also named Tristan da Cunha, is home to around 250 inhabitants, primarily descendants of sailors, settlers, and workers from Europe who arrived in the 19th century.

The island is about 2,400 kilometers (1,500 miles) from the nearest inhabited land, Saint Helena. The isolation makes Tristan da Cunha accessible only by sea, with a journey from South Africa taking about a week.

Due to its extreme remoteness, the islanders rely heavily on fishing and agriculture for sustenance, and they maintain a unique way of life that has preserved their cultural heritage.
