Stop scratching your head, I'll tell you where you've heard of Bouvet Island. It was there in the 2004 movie Alien vs. Predator, and figures prominently in the book A Grue of Ice by Geoffrey Jenkins. The reason I bring this island up, is because its truly the remotest place on this earth. It has no ports or harbors, only offshore anchorages, and is therefore difficult to approach. The only way you can get to it is via a helicopter from a ship. Made of glaciers, the island features steep cliffs and because of the harsh climate and ice-bound terrain, vegetation is limited to lichens and mosses. If you crave company, then you will have to make friends with Seals, seabirds and penguins, as they are the only inhabitants. Another reason why you should know this place is that the island has the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) .bv.

Bouvet Island has no telephone country code or area code, no telephone connection (except by satellite). There is no postal code and no postal distribution. But there is an Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) .bv. Amusing!
