4. Villa Las Estrellas, Chile
Another remote Chilean settlement takes place on our list, but this time it has a completely different climate from our previous settlement. Villa Las Estrellas is located in Antarctica, and depending on the season, it has from 80 to 150 residents. You would be surprised to know that it has a kindergarten and a primary school.
5. Longyearbyen, Norway
This place has extremely low temperature, but still, more than 2,000 people reside in this remote place. It is so cold that it’s illegal to bury the dead over here since they won’t decompose because of the low temperatures. Another interesting fact is that when you go outside you are required by law to carry a rifle, in case you’re attacked by a polar bear.
