Geography

The World's Most Unusually Named Islands

Inaccessible Island is not completely inaccessible, but it's pretty close.

A large rocky islet rising out of the frigid South Atlantic, the island is technically a territory of the United Kingdom, but to reach it, you'll need to travel about eight days by boat from either South Africa or Argentina. However, that boat won't get you all the way to the island — after getting official permission, Inaccessible Island can only be accessed on smaller boats, for about one week out of the year (if the weather cooperates). On the island, you won't find much: a small, rocky beach and a large number of seabirds. You will, however, have bragging rights to having set foot on one of the least-visited and most remote islands on the planet.
