The Edinburgh of the Seven Seas settlement is considered the most remote settlement in the world. The settlement, which is on the island of Tristan da Cunha, is home to around 230 people. AdvertisementResidents of Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, one of the British Overseas Territories on the island of Tristan da Cunha, call their home "the world's most isolated settlement." Tristan da Cunha is an active volcanic island in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean. The last time it erupted was in 1961, which forced islanders to evacuate to England, according to the website of the Tristan da Cunha Government and the Tristan da Cunha Association.
