5. Most Isolated Capital
What do you think the coldest capital on earth is? Moscow, Bern, Ottawa? All Wrong! If you guessed Ulaanbaatar located in Mongolia good job! To the south lies a strange, dry, cold Gobi desert that receives little to no precipitation all year. To the North, you have siberia.
This city is regarded as the coldest capital on earth and suffers from long and unbearable freezing winters! We sort of see it as the most isolated capital as well and this whole area of Central Asia is just extremely remote! We don’t even think Genghis Khan could have handled temperatures this cold. Just walking on the street with any exposed skin can result in pain. Do you ever hear anyone saying, hey i’m taking off work to go to Mongolia for a week!? Uh no.. You really wouldn't want to forget a jacket living here. It’s also the largest city on the list with roughly 1.3 million inhabitants which is nearly half the country's population. We’re still surprised that mongolians got out of their huts and even built a capital! Due to its high elevation, proximity to Siberia and lack of precipitation, it’s a rough place to live nonetheless. Due to a large amount of permafrost soil in Mongolia, it makes building foundations difficult. It’s believed this is why many Mongolians live in houses known as Yurts.


4. Siwa Oasis
Within the vast Sahara desert lies the Siwa Oasis, in one of the most isolated settlements in Egypt. Situated near the Libyan border, it’s about 348 miles or 560 kilometers west of the capital Cairo. Living here however is nothing new and the earliest known settlers came here during the 10th century BC. Being completely surrounded by dry, inhospitable desert has allowed the Siwa people to develop a unique culture from the rest of the Middle East, which is often seen in their style of artwork, jewelry and their same sex marriage ceremonies. They also speak what’s known as the Siwi or Oasis berber, making them somewhat foreign to the eastern part of Egypt. Here in this photo we see a girl wearing the traditional dress of Siwa while grinding salt. The oasis is inhabited by about 30,000 Siwa Berbers and the hot springs are known to occasionally attract tourists. If you’re looking for some good dates, the people of the Siwa Oasis have been growing them for the past 3,500 years



3. Montecristo
The tiny island off the coast of Tuscany, Italy called Montecristo has been shrouded in mystery since the 16th century. To this day, only 1000 tourists are permitted to visit the nature reserve located on this island each year. On top of it, they have to wait 3 years in order to get the visa, just to visit! Is there something the Italian government doesn’t want people to find out about here or is it just to preserve the nature. This was also home to the famous French writer Alexandre Dumas, who wrote the 3 Musketeers. In the novel The count of Monte Cristo, he told of legends about buried treasure left by pirates here. Is it a coincidence that excavations are also strictly permitted on this island? The current population of this island is labelled at 2 people.



2. Szigetszentmiklos -(see-gets-zent-miklos)
This community in Hungary is found just about southwest of Budapest in Google maps and it’s quite strange how isolated they seem. The little hungarian community is completely surrounded by water near the Danube River and is quite unurbanized in comparison to the big capital city. There’s about 30,000 residents of this little town which but only a few hundred choose to live on these islands. Villagers enjoy hunting, fishing, and boating in order to stay self sufficient. You don’t really get a true sense of how isolated it is until you kind roam around here on google earth. This photo here shows the tiny fishing community on the body of water known as Pebble lake, and it looks like a good village to survive the zombie apocalypse


Tristan De Cuhna
This island gets the nickname as the most remote inhabited island in the world because it sort of is. Tristan is the tip of a volcano thrusted upwards from the ocean floor and by looking at the signs, you’ll definitely feel a long ways away from home. The elevation peaks at about 6500 feet. The closest land mass is Saint Helena only about 1500 miles away. It seems to be situated directly between the southern tips of Africa and South America and is only accessible by navigating the brutal seas . You might imagine that life on the world’s most remote island is a little bit rough, but people here enjoy a good standard of living here. Crime seems virtually nonexistent on the biggest settlement called Edinbourgh of the Seven Seas. Many family owns potato patches to grow there own food.

As soon as I stopped the video, which I wasn't far into it, my ears thanked me.

[bewarexalex]

The American flag keep waving throughout the video is very misleading

[ChileThailandtravel]

Good video. Thanks for sharing. I have subscribed. I am from Chile.

[pinkpugginz]

This channel doesn't need commentary at all. Text would be fine...

[RingoLoadagain]

The narrator's voice is unbearable

[Melinacabin]

Really cool information, I’ve learned a lot. Thanks for the video, I’m hooked❗️

[AnthonyKerry]

Wow! What an amazing list, I love this bring more of such am subscribing

[daranyilaszlo]

Very good video but as a Hungarian I can garantree Szigetszentmiklos is not isolated to be N2! :D You can imagine very close to an almost 2 million populated capital can’t really be a very isolated small community. If I know well mostly weekend houses are on those isolated small islands. Lovely place though and I loved the video!

[dcon]

thanks for the show and especially the flag flying. Much appreciated

I saw a House Hunters International a few years back that featured a young man looking for a place to live in Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia. Unlike many HHI shows, I never once thought to myself, “Hey, this looks like a nice place to visit!” It was dreary, and, surprisingly the air quality looked awful. Good video. Thank you.

There’s also Alert in Canada, Dickson in Russia, those indigenous people groups living on those islands in Bangladesh. And then there are the actual loneliest points in the world, which are Bouvet Island in Norway, Heard Island in Australia and Point Nemo which is a literal point in the ocean so far away from people, that the closest people to you are the people in the ISS. A lot was missed out.

I read that Perth, Australia was the most isolated capital in the world, in terms of its distance from the next nearest capital city.

Greenland is literally the bane of my existence when playing plague inc.

Nice video.

[kallekreuzberg]

BTW it's spelled Tristan da Cunha, not Tristan De Cuhna. Also, the town on the island is Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, not Edinborough of the Seven Seas. Neat vid other than the spelling.

[foodholes-vicswholefoodsra]

Love your videos brah! Becoming hooked on watching and want to use your voice for our next promo because you are an American treasure yo. My vlog is not as important but it does relieve stress through stupidity. It is an unauthorized Vlog on Whole Foods Hyrule... Meanwhile, I will stretch my lips!

[donjonlon]

[KenKobayashiRasmussen]

The Kingdom of Denmark includes both Greenland and The Faroe Islands...

[andamanDJbase]

This guy sounds like he should be narrating 2018s most awesome Spring Break parties dewwwd

No. 2. Szigetszentmiklós is very far from isolated. It is approx 20 min by car from the capital, and yes technically it is on an "island" but it counts as only because it is divided by 2 branches of the Danube river...

[CanadianRaven]

Faroe Islands are North of Scotland, not South.
