Remote Destinations That Make You Feel Like the Last Person on Earth

2. Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland – The Most Isolated Village in the Arctic

Perched on the remote east coast of Greenland, Ittoqqortoormiit is one of the most isolated settlements on Earth. Only accessible by a once-a-week flight and then a helicopter ride or long boat trip, this Arctic village is surrounded by glaciers, polar bears, and the icy waters of Scoresby Sound—the largest fjord system in the world. With fewer than 500 residents, this tiny Inuit community exists in almost complete isolation, experiencing months of total darkness in winter and endless daylight in summer. The silence is unearthly, broken only by the howling of sled dogs or the occasional crash of an iceberg breaking apart. If you ever wanted to know what true solitude feels like, this is it.
