NASA Shares Pic Of World’s Most Remote Inhabited Island Tristan da Cunha

NASA has shared a photo of the world’s most remote island. This island is called Tristan da Cunha. This is an island where the least number of people live. Its photo has been captured by the Landsat 9 satellite. The satellite was launched from California, USA in 2021. It is an Earth observation satellite. That is, the job of this satellite is to keep observing the Earth.

NASA has shared the photo of this island on Instagram. The aerial view of this island can be seen in the photo. This is a remote island. It has a group of three small islands. The islands appear in dark color. The shape of Tristan da Cunha Island is circular. Its peak appears white. The area below it appears in light green color and going down it becomes dark green. They are surrounded by deep blue sea.

NASA said that this island is in the area between South America and Africa. The least inhabited area is found on this island. There are more birds than humans living here. This island is in the South Atlantic Ocean. There is dense sea grass all around them. A sea grass called Macrocystis pyrifera is found here which is the fastest growing seaweed on this planet.

According to NASA, these photos of Tristan da Cunha Island were taken in May last year. They were actually used for surveying forests. These photos of remote islands shared by NASA show that there are still many places on Earth that are cut off from the rest of the world. Not much information is available about them yet. NASA often shares such pictures on its Instagram handle.
