Heard Island, Australia

Heard Island is a little territory that is controlled by Australia, yet it is situated in the midst of nowhere, right in the center of Antarctica, Australia, and the most southern point of Africa. In addition to the fact that getting there is very difficult, the only resident on the island is an erupting volcano, which makes the environment very hostile to human habitation.

Mezhgorye, Russia

Mezhgorye is a remote settlement in the Ural Mountains in Russia that has no access to the outside world. It is supposed to be used as a nuclear missile facility, and it is patrolled by battalions to keep trespassers out, but as long as Russian officials keep silent about the town’s true function, we will never know what it is for.
