This year, the Portuguese navigator Tristan da Cunha saw the archipelago for the first time, but his team did not go to land. One of the islands was named in honor of this pioneering captain. And in 1767, sailors from the French frigate Time Berger landed on Tristan da Cunho for the first time.
1. Where
In the south of the Atlantic Ocean, 2161 kilometers from the nearest inhabited land (St. Helena Island) and 2816 kilometers from the mainland (territory of the Republic of South Africa). Tristan da Cunha belongs to the British Overseas Territories, its coordinates are 37.06:12.16.
2. What
Tristan da Cunha (area 98 sq. km) is part of the archipelago of the same name, surrounded by six other islands. There is only one city, Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, where 264 people live permanently. Local residents are farmers and fishermen, they keep chickens, sheep, cows, and also grow potatoes and go out to the ocean to catch their catch. The climate on the island is windy and rainy, and the shores are rocky; you can only land in a strictly defined place (where Edinburgh is located). Due to the distance from the continents, many endemic plants grow on Tristan da Cunha. And only here the smallest of the flightless birds is found - the dark gray Tristan rail, only 15 centimeters long.
3. How to get there
There is no airport on the island; communication with the rest of the world is through scientific and fishing vessels. To get there, you need to fly to Cape Town and board one of the Ovenstone ships (schedules can be found on tristandc.com). A round-trip ticket costs about a thousand dollars, and the travel time is six days one way.
4. Person
French extreme botanist. He specialized in fern-like plants, searching for them in the farthest corners of the planet. In 1792, for example, he visited the island of Mauritius and drew up a map of it. And in 1793, 35-year-old Louis arrived at Tristan da Cunha and was the first to try to conquer the highest point of the island - Queen Mary Peak (2062 meters). Then the mountain did not conquer the botanist, but now climbing the peak is a standard route that tourists can easily overcome in six hours.
With my own eyes
videographer, St. Petersburg
I came here for work, we filmed the work of fishing boats and stopped on the island for three weeks. There is no tourist infrastructure at all, not a single restaurant or bar. There is a single guest house and one cafe. On the entire island, only a small piece of land is comfortable for living - the one where the city is located. And around there are mountains covered with fog. At some point, I suddenly became imbued with all this and thought: how great is our human species if we not only reached such a distant place on the planet, but also mastered it and began to grow potatoes here! By the way, there is a post office on the island: I sent my wife a postcard, which arrived at its destination three months later, when I had already returned.
Rare travelers reach this island in the South Atlantic Ocean. There is no airport, and the nearest country, South Africa, is 2,816 kilometers away.
Them more interesting story island, which was first described by the Portuguese Tristan da Cunha in 1506. True, he did not dare to land on shore. In 1810, the first permanent settlers arrived from Salem, Massachusetts. Four men, led by Jonathan Lambert, named the place Refreshing Island. Three of them had died by 1812, and the only survivor, Thomas Curry, remained to live on the island and took up farming.

In 1815, the island of Tristan da Cunha was annexed by the British. All because next door - on the island of St. Helena (2161 kilometers away) - Napoleon was languishing in prison. The British were afraid of rescue operations, and the islands were of strategic importance on the way to Indian Ocean(The Suez Canal will not be dug until 1869).
Now the island is considered part of the British overseas territory of St. Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha (there are 14 such territories in total - from the famous Gibraltar and Falkland Islands to Pitcairn and Anguilla). The island belongs to Great Britain, but is not part of it. The queen has never set foot on the island, and setting foot on this island for a non-inhabitant is an extremely difficult task. Fishing boats from South Africa come here only a few times a year. They are equipped with seats for passengers.

As of 2016, the island is inhabited by 268 residents from just seven families (there is even a family tree posted on the island). There is little work here, so many government jobs have been created for residents: police, customs, environmental, environmental and agricultural services. And every resident of the island of Tristan da Cunha is a farmer who owns his own potato field. To ensure that everyone's standard of living remains average, a family is allowed to have a maximum of two cows. No one on the island pays taxes, but the population receives royalties from the sale of seafood.
The only settlement has the wonderful name Edinburgh of the Seven Seas. Locals, however, simply call it The Settlement.

In 2005, the UK gave the island its own postcode (TDCU 1ZZ) to make it easier for residents to order goods online. True, there is no cell phone service here. From 1998 to 2006, 64 kilobit Internet was available via satellite phone, but the high cost and poor quality of service forced island residents to abandon it. Now the Internet is only available in cafes, and this is perhaps the most remote Internet cafe in the world from civilization.
Television is available in the form of two BBC channels, so news reaches island residents somewhat faster than in 1919. Then a passing ship (the first since 1909) informed them of the results of the First World War.

“...another day passed, and at dawn the voice of the sailor on watch was suddenly heard.
“Earth!” he shouted.
A spyglass appeared from the hatch. Jacques Paganel pointed his instrument in the indicated direction, but did not see anything resembling land there.
“Look at the clouds,” John Mangles advised him.
“Indeed,” said Paganel, “there looms something like a cliff.”
“This is Tristan da Cunha,” announced John Mangles...
"Captain Grant's Children", Jules Verne
Have you ever heard of Tristan da Cunha? If not, don't feel bad because the people living there have probably never heard of you either. The Tristan da Cunha archipelago, located in the southern Atlantic Ocean, is the most remote inhabited place on the planet. Its closest “neighbor” is the island of St. Helena, located 2,430 kilometers from the archipelago, known as the place of exile and the last years of Napoleon Bonaparte’s life. Tristan da Cunha consists of several islands - Tristan itself, the largest and only inhabited, Nightingale Island and Inaccessible Island, Gough and many small islands. The coast of South Africa is more than 2,800 kilometers from here, and all ten from London!
The history of the islands begins in 1506, when the Portuguese navigator Tristan da Cunha saw them through a telescope and left his name here forever. For various reasons, Tristan was not able to walk around the wreck, so the first to set foot on the “most remote land” were only in 1767, and they were the French. Despite this, he named the island after himself - Tristan da Cunha. The first settler of the island was the American Jonathan Lambert, who landed on the shore in January 1811. He named himself the ruler of the island and renamed it "Rest Island".
When the English Governor of the Cape Good Hope Having learned that the island had already been colonized, he offered Lambert the protectorate of England. Lambert agreed and raised the British flag over Tristan. However, two years later Lambert died in a shipwreck, and the island was given its former name.
In 1815, the British settled Napoleon on St. Helena, a similarly lonely piece of land thousands of miles to the north. And to protect possible sea routes for his escape from there, it was decided to place a garrison on Tristan da Cunha. The small, dying American colony took this as a gift from heaven, and recognized the sovereignty of Great Britain over this island.
In 1821, Napoleon died and the garrison was transferred to the Cape of Good Hope.
The main island of the Tristan da Cunha archipelago is the only island with a permanent population. Center - village Edinburgh of the Seven Seas(Edinburgh of the Seven Seas) with a population of about 300 people (2005). But the residents simply call it settlement(Settlement). And by the ceremonial name local residents they use them as rarely as they use their surnames, of which there are only seven or eight: almost all the families have long been related to each other. No give or take - Noah's Ark. The oldest families on the island are Glass (immigrants from the USA, on the island since 1816), Swain (immigrants from England, since 1826), Green (from Holland since 1836), Rogers (from the USA since 1836), Hagan ( USA, 1849), Repetto and Lavarello (both families from Italy since 1892).
Other settlements are simply scientific bases and weather stations.
Today, Tristan da Cunha is a British overseas colony that has so far not demanded independence, all because the island's inhabitants value their historical connection with Great Britain. The island is governed by the Governor of Saint Helena, who appoints an Administrator to represent its interests in the archipelago.
Well, okay, people don’t live on continents alone, but these islands are so far from sea routes that ships enter there no more than once a month. The rest of the time, all 300 residents of the islands’ only city, “Edinburgh of the Seven Seas,” are left to their own devices, and they cope excellently with the elements, with illness, with work, and with unemployment. Just kidding - they have no unemployment.
Most of the residents are engaged in farming, the rest serve government facilities - weather stations and some other towers inherited from Mother Britain. But what is interesting is that the land is constantly redistributed among community members in order to avoid the accidental enrichment of a random family due to the accidental seizure of the best plot. Since all Tristan residents are distant and close relatives, they decide their affairs in a family way, without involving any “committees for the rights of black-browed and red-cheeked people,” and they do it extremely charmingly. The island is ruled by an elected Chief Islander and eleven members of the Council; there are no other General Courts or Memorial Chambers. But the islanders are such a peaceful and friendly people that litigation between them is a complete fantasy.
All tourists who want to go to Tristan da Cunha must first obtain permission from the Administrator and the Council and take with them a police certificate of no criminal record (with a translation into English). To do this, you need to write a letter to the Secretary of the Administrator [email protected] and indicate when you plan to arrive, where you intend to stay and what the purpose of your visit is. You must also have medical insurance with you that will cover the costs of treatment and evacuation to Cape Town, and sufficient financial resources. Once the Council has issued your permit, the Administrator's Secretary will contact you to assist you in booking your boat tickets from Cape Town.
A visa is not required, but all tourists must carry a passport, which will be stamped upon arrival. In addition, you need to pay a fee: for passengers cruise ships- 30 pounds, and for fishing boats - 20 pounds. Finally, you need to know that the import of food and alcohol here is very strictly controlled. For example, tourists are allowed to bring only 4 liters of beer with them.
Tristana da Cunha has no airport or sea harbor (it was destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Queen Mary Peak in 1961).
You can only get here through the port, which is used by fishing boats, ferries and scientific expeditions. Travel to the island from the nearest large city– South Africa's capital Cape Town takes six days one way. Currently, the Ovenstone company, which owns several fishing vessels - Edinburgh, MV Baltic Trader and SA Agulhas, transports tourists along the route Cape Town - Tristan da Cunha - Cape Town. Flight schedules can be found on the website. The average cost of a round trip ticket is about a thousand US dollars.
Tristan da Cunha is an island of volcanic origin. The inhabitants of Tristan da Cunha are tightly tied to their homeland. When in 1961 a volcano seriously damaged the fish factory and the local atmosphere, people were evacuated to Britain and the island of St. Elena, which is nearby (about a thousand kilometers is a mere trifle). It would seem that civilization will inevitably swallow up the provincials with its tenacious advantages. But no, as soon as the military island was repaired, the entire population returned to their “most remote from the whole world” homes. And, probably, they can be understood - they have peace and grace there, a piece of heaven on Earth, albeit without excesses, but also without racial hatred, terrorism, crime, corruption and other “benefits” of the modern world.
Only a small part of the island is accessible to life, on the northern side of which is the capital of the archipelago - “Edinburgh of the Seven Seas”, and locals like to call it simply “The Settlement”. Tristana da Cunha is currently home to 261 people who proudly call it home. All of them are descendants of American, Italian, and Dutch settlers. There is a ban on the settlement of new residents on the island, so the population here fluctuates slightly. This leads to another problem - for more than 200 years, inbreeding occurred on the island, which still leads to serious genetic diseases. Recently, marriages between close relatives (cousins) were officially prohibited, and now residents are faced with another problem: many have to wait several years for their future husband or wife to “grow up.” However, this is a common problem for all such societies.
The official language in Tristan da Cunha is English, but there are several dialects that stem from the fact that the first settlers did not originally speak English. English language. Tristanians profess Christianity (Anglicanism and Catholicism). The island has telephones, television and Internet access.
A few words about the economy. The main source of income for the residents is the factory for catching and processing lobsters and lobsters, which closely cooperates and sells its products to Japan and the USA, although now the turnover with the Americans has dropped significantly, complicating the already difficult life of the residents of Tristan. In addition, Tristan da Cunha sells coins and postage stamps all over the world, which are very rare and highly sought after by collectors. The local currency is the British pound sterling. Credit cards are not accepted, but travelers checks and foreign currencies (Euros, Dollars, South African Rands) can be exchanged at the local treasury.
All land is in common use. No one can buy it here, not even Bill Gates and Roman Abramovich. All families are engaged in farming, growing vegetables, and raising livestock. By the way, livestock numbers are strictly controlled in order to preserve pastures and prevent individual families from accumulating wealth. In other words, there is complete equality here.
The island has a school, post office, museum, cafe, two churches, a supermarket and a tourist center. The local clinic provides free medical care to all residents, many of whom suffer from the same genetic diseases caused by the previously mentioned incest. And most importantly, there is no crime, corruption, or murder on the island. Complete idyll, isn't it?
You must book accommodation on the island in advance by contacting the Administrator’s secretary (it is worth noting that you will often be in contact with him; all communication with the “outside world” for Tristanians goes through him). He can advise you and help you with your booking. Two types of accommodation are available for tourists - in a home family with full board(cost - 40 pounds/night), three meals a day, laundry service and guest house(there are six of them on the island), which can be booked for any period (cost 20 pounds per night + meals).
Local tourist center You can buy a postcard and send it to your friends. But they will immediately tell you that delivery may take several months. Although Russians probably shouldn’t be too upset, because we have long been accustomed to the “super-fast” work of the Russian Post.
Tristan da Cunha offers tourists a number of activities and excursions that can be specially organized by local guides. All inquiries should be directed to Tourism Coordinator Dawn Repetto via email [email protected]
Among the most favorite tourist attractions in Tristan da Cunha there are three. The first is conquering the top of the Queen Mary Peak volcano. All excursions that take place outside Edinburgh of the Seven Seas require the mandatory presence of a local guide (for the safety of tourists and the preservation of wildlife). The second is crested penguins (Rockhopper penguins), which make their nests on rocks and coastal slopes, and after the traditional January molt they return to the sea.
Third, and perhaps the most unique, is a trip to the neighboring uninhabited islands of the archipelago. For example, on a fishing boat you can visit Nightingale Island or Inaccessible Island, but again, you must first coordinate the excursion with the Tristan administration. You can also go to Gough Island, which, like Inaccessible, was declared a wildlife reserve by UNESCO in 1995. This island was discovered by the navigator Gough in 1731. It belongs to the British maritime domain, but the only inhabitants of the island are members of the South Atlantic weather station SANAP, which, in agreement with the British government, was placed here in 1956.
Doesn't exist on Tristan da Cunha organized tours, no hotels, no airport, no nightclubs and expensive restaurants, no normal permanent transport communication. However, he is one of the most unusual places For independent travelers who are determined to discover something new and unknown. Many who come here decide to stay for a long time (several months), realizing that they have found something that they were so missing before. The most important thing is to remember that your trip to Tristan da Cunha needs to be planned in advance, not two or three months in advance, but at least a year in advance.
Such increased attention to these islands at that time was by no means accidental. They were advantageously located on routes connecting the Old World and India and, moreover, were under the protectorate of England, which made them very popular. But the rapid prosperity of Tristan da Cunha came to an end with the construction of the Suez Canal. The settlers who settled on the island did not want to return to the mainland under any pretext, so some of them were “attached” for scientific research, while the rest were engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing and handicrafts.
You can go there for tourism purposes only to expand your geographical horizons - there is absolutely nothing to see there. Of the entire area of the island, a small piece of land in the north is suitable for life, the rest is a volcano, which has made its appearance four times over the past 100 years. In addition to Tristan da Cunha, the archipelago includes three more smaller islands and many hillocks above sea level, which one wouldn’t dare call an island. So, everything except Tristan has no permanent residents.
Tristan is still registered in Britain, but this is more nominal, just so as not to be “passportless” and not to create another independent island state from nowhere.
The social system of the island is real communism. Even at the very beginning of the colony, Cpl. Grass formulated something like a constitution. Its provisions were determined by the ideas of the French Revolution: freedom, equality, fraternity. And this is still the case here. The whole community will build a house for the newlyweds here. If the harvest is bad, the neighbors will share theirs. Among the applicants, the one who previously earned less gets the job. Health care and education are free.
For the last 60-odd years, the island has been governed by a council consisting of 10 people and the head of the council, who is also approved by the governor of the British island of St. Helens. Since the commune on the island is tiny, local politics are right at your fingertips: the reins of government are held by representatives of the most ancient families of immigrants to the island (in fact, the island is a very simplified model of migrant-type countries). Of the 11 members of the council, the head is a representative of the Lavarello clan, the council includes 4 representatives of the Repetto clan, 3 of the Green clan, 1 of the Rogers clan, 2 of the Glass clan. In total, the “Italians” have 5 out of 11 seats, the “Americans” – 3, the Dutch – 3 places. As we see, there was no place for the “Englishmen”.
However, according to local political scientists, the current rise in the influence of Italian clans is a purely temporary phenomenon. Ian Lavarello generally became the first representative of his clan to be appointed to the position of chairman of the council.
It is not customary to shirk community work. It is always there: to fix the road, help in building a house, to crush the lava from which bricks will later be made. The entire list of work necessary for the community is compiled by the British manager.
There is little that can take the Council, or indeed all the other inhabitants of the island, by surprise, because for any conceivable situation they have an iron rule in reserve: to remember how the older generations of settlers acted in such cases. Traditions are what all actions here are based on. Why build a new restaurant building on the island? It would be better to leave everything as it is: how many years have you lived without a restaurant, and why do you need it now? Why build a new board building? After all, the old one is still quite good. What's the use of a satellite phone? After all, if something happened, the ship from Cape Town, at best, would only reach here in a week. In 1906, a volcanic eruption occurred, resulting in the death of livestock and potato plantations. People were resettled in Cape Town. As can be seen from these facts, all external relations of the island have long been limited to the support of the authorities from another British colony, the Cape of Good Hope (currently a province of South Africa).

» Tristan da Cunha Island, Edinburgh of the Seven Seas
There you are iconic a view of the "most remote inhabited island in the world" Tristan da Cunha with the characteristic volcanic cone, cloud and albatross in the foreground - as it is depicted in illustrations for Jules Verne's books and T-shirts "I've been to Tristan da Cunha and all I' ve got this lousy t-shirt" (only the bird needs to be made bigger)
Of course, Tristan da Cunha is only the second farthest from other human habitation after, but the absence of an airport completely changes the situation: the fastest way to get there is by ship, which happens once every 2 months
Any post about Tristan da Cunha should contain a piece of a map of the South Atlantic with infographics with distances to and - to show what it is far away island: 
The capital of Edinburgh of the seven seas is the first and only city on the island, 260 people, about 100 houses. Top right - Queen Mary Peak, highest mountain throughout the South Atlantic. A small, not yet very overgrown hill to the left of the city is their home volcano, which tried to destroy the city in 1961, but destroyed only a bay with a port suitable for entry by ocean-going ships. Since then, the landing on Tristan da Cunho represents big Adventure: no vessel larger than a longboat or a small yacht will fit into the new port 
As soon as an ocean ship stops at a roadstead, it is attacked by the zodiacs of the islanders. Today is a very, very nice day, so the ship lowered the ramp
Swings in waves, and in highest point the ladder hangs 2-3 meters above the water, and at the bottom it submerges under water, but it is easy to disembark from it: 2 sailors RMS they carefully grab the pensioner by the armpits, wait for a lull and quietly throw him to two Tristan boatmen in the zodiac
They say it's worse to get into a boat using a rope ladder and climbing belay, and another 30% passenger ships(one of those with a schedule, and after Tristan must go somewhere further) stay at Tristan’s for a couple of days and move on: the weather does not allow disembarking passengers at all 
Suitcases are passed between the ship and the zodiacs one at a time on ropes 
Calshot Harbor
Great Britain annexed Tristan da Cunha to its own (right there, in the South Atlantic, about 3,200 kilometers away), but direct sea communication between the islands is rare and the governor of St. Helena appears on the island once every 3-5 years. This is exactly our case: the governor is with us on RMS and therefore, in the passenger list there are not only the usual titles of reservation systems - MR, MRS, DOC - but also GOV. No cell phone service, not even Digicel 
Edinburgh of the Seven Seas
Edinburgh of the Seven Seas on the left, 1961 Volcano on the right: 
Edinburgh of the Seven Seas: 
The recognizable central square with its shield and sign, replicated in a million photographs, was ruined by an electrical cabinet - they are building street lighting in the city and nothing is spared, nothing 
All other human cities will be north of Edinburgh, but signs point east - blown away by the prevailing wind 
Edinburgh lives in conditions of a constant strong, mournful wind from west to east or vice versa - Muscovites would have been blown off their feet long ago, but here everyone has somehow adapted. They are grown as windbreaks New Zealand linen- grass 3 human height. A plant considered an invasive weed in a neighboring area is finally doing some good here. 
Dry clothes on a sunny wall that protects from the wind 
If you remove the body from the pickup truck, it will turn into a greenhouse with giant plants (because it’s warm, there’s no wind and the sheep can’t eat this grass) 
City water supply against the background of wind barriers made of New Zealand flax: 
For a garage, the main thing is to protect it from the wind, not from precipitation: 
Snow in this city, despite the harsh appearance environment, does not happen: the record low temperature is +5°C (higher than in the much more northern and more tropical). But here’s something else: the 37th parallel of southern latitude (see Children of Captain Grant) Tristan da Cunha corresponds to the latitude of Sicily. A person here gets sunburned in an hour in the summer, but the plants and climate, due to the cooling influence of the roaring forties, are similar to the Kolyma or Karelian summer
A flag was raised over the residence of the governor of St. Helena (for the first time in 3 years, for 2 days) - because the governor came with us to RMS 
Urbanists have worked on Edinburgh - the city is implementing a large-scale program of installing street lights 
In a couple of months it will be cool, but for now, after sunset, you can’t see a damn thing in the city and tourists walk around highlighting the paths with smartphones that are useless for anything else 
It's getting dark 
Lobsters
The island economy is structured much the same way: government jobs and small incomes from hardcore tourists. But Tristan is lucky: there are lobsters here and the Japanese aliens are willing to pay dearly for them - it pays for production and expensive logistics. Every day, when weather permits (~70 days a year), they go out to sea, catch lobsters and process them at the lobster factory. 
It is not possible to gut the entire catch in real time, so the difference is stored alive in an aquarium workshop similar to the Matrix 
Lobster fishing boats in the port: between exits they must be pulled ashore: the wind is unpredictable and strong, it can break 
Local lobsters eat only their tails: to satisfy the special needs of aliens, the tails are packaged either in rings (in the picture) or flattened, all of this is bought and consumed in very different ways 
Packaging of tailings in plastic bags 
Sorting by weight 
Aliens love beautiful presentation of food, so antennae and inedible shells are collected and placed in boxes - so that the cook can decorate the dish
