Don't you wish you could just get away from it all?
With a trip to any of these distant and remote islands, you can-literally, all of it.
CNN named some of the most mysterious and dangerous islands from around the world in a recent article.
Some of the locations listed below are sealed off from any tourism at all. Most are considered dangerous, whether for active volcanoes, harsh winters or pure distance from general civilization.
Access to these far-off spots can often be hard to come by, but are worth visiting at least once, and warrant the effort.
1. Bouvet
Location: 400 miles from Myanmar
The Sentinelese-a pre-Neolithic tribe thought to number between 50 and 200- inhabit this island, and want it to stay that way. They have sealed shunned any contact with the modern world, and will resort to violent defense if necessary. This story on the fishermen who accidentally floated onto the island and ultimately met their demise should put you off from visiting this island, which has a three-mile exclusion zone ringed around it.
