A great place to hold the T in the Park festival, if not only to drown the millions of sad festival goers who would want to go there.robin woodforthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046172520958527381.post-74929648285622521632009-08-31T12:37:25.327+01:002009-08-31T12:37:25.327+01:00B.E.Earl: I too have a fascination for Trista da C...B.E.Earl: I too have a fascination for Trista da Cunha, ever since I read about it in the National Geographic magazine way back in the 1960s.jailhouselawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795278184797990706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046172520958527381.post-16086998543452713532009-08-31T05:20:03.584+01:002009-08-31T05:20:03.584+01:00I would like rovk samples from that island.

It is located far in the South Atlantic, roughly equidistant between Cape Town, South Africa and Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. Tristan da Cunha is 2816 km (1750 miles) from South Africa and 3360 km (2088 miles) from South America, making it the most remote inhabited island on the planet. There are numerous islands in the central Pacific more distant from continental landmasses, but not other inhabited islands. The closest inhabited island to Tristan da Cunha is Saint Helena, 2173 km (1350 miles) to the north'. <br /><br />Earl/Minx - You are both of course entirely correct. Keep the conspiracy theories coming...<br /><br />Savannah - You are entirely correct too- I'm working on this.white rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693920049571164318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046172520958527381.post-8871827885105475462009-08-29T03:35:42.675+01:002009-08-29T03:35:42.675+01:00honeypie, y'all NEED a holiday! and soon! xoxo...honeypie, y'all <i>NEED</i> a holiday! <i>and soon!</i> xoxoxosavannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310843901371718758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046172520958527381.post-91464799568657064562009-08-29T02:33:39.693+01:002009-08-29T02:33:39.693+01:00I am personally of the opinion that the place is a...I am personally of the opinion that the place is absolutely STUFFED to its volcanic RAFTERS with all the Gold/Diamonds/Emeralds/Oil/Gas/Disappearing Wonga from the Banking Crisis that has been'lost' in this era of globalisation and never ever successfully accounted for!<br />( I also think that ET and lots of Pixies live there too, but what do I know?!)Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11374956155964328760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046172520958527381.post-63501360910186205352009-08-28T20:52:17.732+01:002009-08-28T20:52:17.732+01:00Bouvet Island houses Dr. Evil's secret lair an...Bouvet Island houses Dr. Evil's secret lair and he needs Internet access.<br /><br />On another note, island trivia fans, what is the most remote INHABITED island (or archipelago) in the world?
