This town isn'tjust far away, it's completely isolated. Because while there are places technically further in distance, this island has no airport. Which means getting there is a 7 days, hard journey from South Africa. Welcome to Tristan da Cunha and its lone village Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, a town with nearly 250 people living with almost no contact with the outside world. But what's weirder is that this isn't an indigenous tribe either! No, this is a British Overseas Territory and its citizens are British. So why do people live here and what is it like today?

In this video, we'll explore the fascinating geography of Tristan da Cunha and its neighboring islands, why and how humans settled it, what it's like to live there today and why nobody else can move there (even if they're British!).
