Tristan da Cunha is the most remote inhabited island in the world. We’ve
posted about the island
before. Now you can take a little tour of island life with Stewart
McPherson. Resident Harold Green says it’s quiet and peaceful, except
for that volcanic eruption in 1961 that forced a two-year evacuation.
Fifty-five years later, it’s still a traumatic memory for the islanders.
With
less than 300 permanent residents, it’s no wonder they consider each
other brothers and sisters. It’s likely they are all at least cousins.
They have what they need, for now. There’s a bus, which is something my
town of 8,000 doesn’t have. Then again, we have cars.
