This week, I traveled to the most remotely inhabited island on Earth: Pitcairn Island. This island has one of the most unique stories of a founding that I’ve ever heard of and I can’t wait for you to explore it with me in this epic tale shot by the incredible @cory.s.martin

  1. Hi friends, I hope you enjoy this wild and incredible story. To address a technical aspect I’m sure a few commenters will point out 🤓🫶 depending on how you measure and which source you find, another island “Tristan Da Cunha” has claimed to be most remote. That’s because it’s 7-day boat ride to the nearest airport instead of the 4-day trip it took me to Pitcairn. But if you measure distance from closest continent, Pitcairn blows them all out of the park. Ultimately, Pitcairn’s unbelievable story is what made me chose to go there, you all know by now that a 7-day boat trip wouldn’t scare me away if the stronger story was on the other island. I hope you enjoyed the video as much as we did making it 🙏

  2. l loved this travelogue. I've studied remote islands through philately (stamp collecting) since I was a kid in Minnesota. Pitcairn, Tristan da Cunha, St Helena, Ascension, and tiny Dutch Saba in the Caribbean were my focus. I have been president of the two study groups focusing on Pitcairn and the three South Atlantic isles through their history and postal service. At 73 now, I moved to Saba a few years ago and host tourists in my 164 year old original cottage to fulfill my dream of living on a remote island. We aren't as remote as Pitcairn or Tristan, but we do have an unusual claim: our pharmacist is Jacqui Christian…from Pitcairn Island!

    Come to Saba some day, stay with me, and you'll discover a fascinating history here, almost as good as a mutiny! Certainly our little dot is a drone photographer's delight for dramatic footage similar to Pitcairn.

  3. Having spent months on a tiny island in the South Pacific 1x.5 miles in size you learn to appreciate the small things it’s something deep that takes you to a primal place and you realize how little you need to be happy. You learn to socialize better because it’s isolation and the companionship is closer to the top of the items needed. It makes life precious and appreciated and in my case I hoped all people could experience it.

  5. So how do they generate the money to buy supplies and imports materials to built such a large community? Edit googled it they mainly have govt jobs plus the sale of postage stamps and fresh produce to passing cruise ships and landing fees. They grow most of their own food as a community and fishing is an important staple .

  9. Okay, im slow so please explain to me. If only John Adam or whatever his name was survived and everyone else was chucked off the island, how are their direct decedents alive? Im not following.

  11. Hi
    I had the privilege to visit Pitcairn in 1989 on a ship M V Trudy, we dropped Lloyd Buckley back to the Island. He was island administrator. What a stunning location, the folks on the island were very friendly and we arranged trades of diesel for crayfish etc. Had the distinct honour to meet Tom Christian who has since passed away. My most memorable experience from nearly 20 year career at sea.
