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

7. Wrangel Island, Russia – The Last Refuge of the Woolly Mammoths

A forbidden Arctic island frozen in time, Wrangel Island lies in the Siberian Sea and is so remote that it was the last place on Earth where woolly mammoths lived before going extinct. Today, it remains a stark, isolated wilderness, home to the highest density of polar bears on the planet. No permanent human settlements exist, and access is only granted to researchers or rare expedition cruises. The landscape is fierce, silent, and completely untouched, making it one of the last truly wild places on Earth.
