The Tristan da Cunha Island is considered the world's most isolated land. Located between South Africa and South America, the territory is 2,438 km from the island of St. Helena, the closest province. Few ships intend to discover this part of the world where we do not find either airport or port. The 270 inhabitants live mainly from fishing. And since 2001, they even have an internet connection. The island that is beginning to be known worldwide also made an appearance in film, especially in the film "In Solitaire" Christopher Offenstein with François Cluzet.
