Places to travel to this year that are remote




 

1. Alaska’s Kobuk Valley
See the fantastic dunes at this American outpost. Travelers can only visit Kobuk valley in winter by using a husky dog sledge or snowmobile, and it offers remoteness like no other place in the world.

The closest town is Kotzebue, but it’s 80 kilometers away, and Anchorage is the nearest major airport, with smaller airports at Kodiak and Homer. The Arctic Circle is 26 miles north of this stunning location. If you want to go remote, there’s no getting further away than Kobuk Valley.

For information, Kobuk Valley is 7,007 miles away from Easter Island.

 




 

2. Chile’s Easter Island
Easter Island is one of the most talked-about but remote islands globally, and it’s home to the Rapa Nui people’s famous Moai stone head statues. In the Pacific Ocean, Easter Island is a UNESCO world heritage site.

There are a few well-chosen hotels, but guests are limited to protect the wildlife and environmental structure. If you want to get well away from it all, this is the place to go.

Easter Island to South Seymour Island is a slightly shorter trip, coming in at 2,223 miles apart.
