Some people associate extreme tourism mainly with ascent to the high mountains. For others it is the travels to distant and inaccessible places in the world. One of these holiday destinations is the strange Tristan da Cunha Archipelago, which is located in the Atlantic Ocean. The archipelago is inhabited, and about 250 people live thereafter. The main feature of the picturesque archipelago is that it is the most widely inhabited archipelago in the world.
More than 2 100 km separate the archipelago from St. Helena Island. The distance to the coast of South Africa is over 2,800 km, and to South America - over 3 300 km. The explorer of the islands was the Portuguese navigator Tristan da Cunha, whose honor the archipelago was named. The seafarer landed on the island in 1506. The next time the island was visited by the British explorers in the first half of the 18th century.
About a century later some British families lived on the island. Like many years ago, cattle raising and cultivating the vegetable plantations are the main trades of the aborigines. There is also a large fish factory on the island. The trip to Tristan da Cunha Archipelago is particularly popular with tourists who want to get away from the hectic civilization. It is only during a long journey that you can fully understand how far away the islands are from civilization. The archipelago is visited by many ornithologists and biologists, as many rare bird and plant species can be found on its territory, which can not be found anywhere in the world.
