Bouvet Island, Atlantic Ocean

Although people aren’t banned from visiting, it’s not a popular place to visit.

There was an abandoned lifeboat found in April 1964 that could’ve easily given the passengers access, but no human life was ever found on the far southern side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the island was located.

Geography

Only 7% of the island is not covered by a glacier. The center of Bouvet Island (named by Norway in 1930) has an inactive volcano filled with ice.
