Phenomena: the mystery of Bouvet Island
The lifeboat at the world’s end – an icy, unhabitated island only few have seen. Far out in the subantarctic, well beyond the usual paths of navigation, lies a forgotten fragment of land: Bouvetøya, or Bouvet Island.
Icy, uninhabited and surrounded by thousands of miles of ocean, it’s a place few have seen – but one that holds a quietly remarkable mystery. This Norwegian dependency is a speck of ice and volcanic basalt in the Southern Ocean, often called the most isolated island on Earth.
You could draw a 1,600-kilometre circle around it that contains no other land. Bouvet Island, lying south of the Roaring Forties, has a history marked by being lost – evading cartographers for decades after its 1739 discovery.
Author's summary: Bouvet Island is a mysterious and isolated land.
