This wiki has a map showing where Tristan da Cunha is, in relation to Saint Helena and Ascension islands.

You can be the “most remote” worker in there if there’s Starlink on the island…

It turns out that they do have Starlink, as of 2024. Notable impacts have been improved telemedicine, remote learning opportunities for the school, and reduced attendance at the pub because people are watching Netflix.

Point Nemo (and related points) is also interesting:

> […] The oceanic pole of inaccessibility, also known as Point Nemo, is located at roughly 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W[21] and is the place in the ocean that is farthest from land. It represents the solution to the "longest swim" problem.[22] […]

"The area is so remote that, since no regular marine or air traffic routes are within 400 kilometres (250 mi), sometimes the closest human beings are astronauts aboard the International Space Station when it passes overhead.[23][24] "

Honestly looks a lot more interesting and alive than St Helena

I've been fascinated by this island for years.

Very interesting. Life must be amazing. But it was only pictures of men? Not many females there or what? Seems like an off grid paradise

Outside of mentioning that kids go to school and there was a birthday, personal life isn’t discussed. The article is about manual labor required to live on the island. While 3 woman are introduced, the article mainly revolved around fishing, carrying heavy material long distances, and livestock which is man dominated in every country around the world.

Very likely the woman are caring for the heavy burden and labors required to upkeep their own homestead which deserves an article itself, but obviously outside of the point of this article.

Now that St. Helena has an airport and all, it’s good to know that even more remote alternatives exist.
