15 Most Isolated Places in the World – Page 5

13. Cape York Peninsula, Australia

Cape York is a very remote place, located in North Australia. It’s a pretty nice place if you want to go fishing. The land is fully owned by indigenous communities. If you’re traveling from Cairns, it will be a 28-hour drive. It is important to note that you need a four-wheel-drive car if you want to get there. This Peninsula has a population of more than 18,000 and it’s cool to know that around 30 Aboriginal languages are still spoken over there.

14. McMurdo Station, Antarctica

Being used as a research base for more than 1,200 scientists, the McMurdo Station can be considered as one of the most remote places on earth. The population may vary from 250 to 1,250 depending on the season. Scientific missions never stop at this station, and from 1986 to 2006 there have been more than 10,859 dives.

15. Motuo County, China

Also known as Medog County, is considered as one of the last places on earth that is still not changed by civilization. There have been plenty of attempts to build a road, but due to mudslides, it was never finished. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of more than 10,900.
