Middle of Nowhere!

Feeling like getting away from it all? Hate the crowds? Try this:

Small, uninhabited, very isolated atoll in the middle of the pacific ocean. ( The small dot in the middle of the picture! )

The only distraction you are likely to get is from very lost sailors! The closest inhabited land to it is Pitcairn Island, good 300 miles away, which has a whooping workforce of 15 men and women! I wonder if you can order a pizza? Ducie is in fact so far from anything, it forms one of the 3 points that define point Nemo.
  • You thought globalisation made the world smaller and more accessible? Knowledge wise yes, accessible not. And it should stay like that!
  • I will probably put this destination to my do before die list. Why? Because it is a perfect example of Iter by itself - Let the way there be The destination. Want to come along?

BTW: If you damage my watch on Ducie, I will be able to legally pursue you all the way to the House of lords! ;).

Somebody has been studying international private law a bit too much? :)
