A woman’s photos offer a rare glimpse at life on Tristan da Cunha— what locals say is the world’s most remote island. The island is 1,500 miles off the coast of South Africa, where there’s just one shop, pub and school and only 138 inhabitants.
Kelly Green, 32, moved from the UK to Tristan da Cunha in July 2013. It’s a volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, far away from the coast of Cape Town. The whole island descends from just seven families and everyone knows each other. It is only accessible by boat from Cape Town and the journey can take anywhere from a week to 15 days depending on the weather.
