The far corners of the Earth
I am fascinated by extremely remote places. I want to visit them. Specific destinations I have in mind:
I don't know why they fascinate me; most of them are quite cold. There are other places that I've come across in Wikipedia that I can't remember.
- Kerguelen Island in the South Indian Ocean
- Inaccessible Island in the South Atlantic Ocean
- Svalbard in the Barents Sea
- Socotra in the Arabian Sea
- Baffin Island in Northern Canada
- The Yenisei River in Russia
- The Amu Darya River in Central Asia
- Haida Gwaii in Northwestern British Columbia.
- Burketown, Australia, which is apparently the best place to see Morning Glory clouds
- The Wakhan Corridor, that narrow strip of land at the very northwestern part of Afghanistan that connects it to China
I don't know why they fascinate me; most of them are quite cold. There are other places that I've come across in Wikipedia that I can't remember.

If you visit Inaccessible Island, be sure to try to wild celery and albatross burger. I hear it's excellent.
