At the end of the world: a family lives on the most remote island in the world

An island lost in the South Atlantic has become home to the family of Kelly Green, who share their unique life on social media.

Kelly Green and her family live on Tristan da Cunha, one of the most isolated inhabited archipelagos in the world. She shared this in one of her latest videos on TikTok.

This volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean is located 1,732 miles from Cape Town (South Africa) and 2,454 miles from Mar del Plata (Argentina). The only way to get there is by ship, which takes seven to eight days, and the last meters of the journey have to be covered by raft.

On her TikTok channel, Kelly shares unique moments from life on the island. One of her videos, which has gained more than 1.8 million views, shows a ship arriving on the shore delivering essential goods. In the video, she explains that Christmas presents have to be ordered six months in advance to ensure they arrive on time.

"Living on the most remote island, you have to travel by boat for a week and then you get a raft," Kelly explains, showing the route from the beach to her home.

There are only about 250 people living on Tristan, all of whom are British Overseas Territory citizens. The residents lead a relaxed lifestyle that has captivated Kelly's social media followers. Many commenters admit that they first learned about the island thanks to her videos.

"I've always been fascinated by Tristan da Cunha," "It's amazing to learn about life in such a unique place," "I think I'd go crazy if I lived on a remote island," "How do you survive storms," ​​"You should make more videos about life on Tristan da Cunha," they wrote.

Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory, was settled only by people prepared for the harsh conditions. The lack of a convenient harbour, mountainous terrain and frequent heavy rains made the island unattractive to early explorers. However, thanks to the persistence of a small community of people, life on the archipelago not only survived, but flourished. Since the establishment of a British garrison in 1816, the island has remained part of Great Britain, maintaining links with the mother country. Despite its isolation, its inhabitants show that it is possible to prosper even at the edge of the world.
