Bouvetoya, sighted (without landing) by the Frenchman Bouvet in 1739 is one of the 3 territories owned by Norway in Subantarctic et Antarctica (the 2 others are Peter Ist Island where I was lucky enough in 2003 to be part of the first travelers to land there, & Queen Maud Land). 90% covered by a huge glacier, uninhabited of course, this is the remotest island on Earth. It is extremely rarely visited and even less with landing as zodiac landing is very exceptionally possible (Norway forbids landing by helico) due to quasi constantly too strong swell and winds. As far as I know, only very few scientific expeditions landed there after 2015 (in 2018, 2021 and recently in February 2023).Gough, more in the north, is also an uninhabited island (except for a weather station) It is a natural reserve and is listed as a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Landing there is strictly prohibited except for scientists. It is a British Overseas Territory and a dependency of Tristan Da Cunha.
