When the ISS flys over, the astronauts are the closest people to this island for a split second

"It's a desolate, empty island in the middle of nowhere."
Norway: We'll take it!

Damn when the British empire sees a piece of land and doesn’t want to take control of it you know it must be bad

Apparently there was a lifeboat found on the island during an expedition in the 70s. So another view on this is that human life is so pervasive that through sheer randomness it'll still manage to set foot on the most remote corner of the planet.

Desolate lump of ice 2,000km from any land
19th Century British Empire: It's claiming time.

This is gonna be my "villain's lair" when I become a billionaire.

What about this: go to the north-western corner of the island, where there's a Norwegian research base which you didn't mention, located on a part of land which is actually a decently accessible rocky beach which you didn't mention, and use the equipment in the base to call for help while living off supplies left there just for that occasion?

The thought of being in a kayak in the open ocean is absolutely terrifying

It's kind of comforting to know that, despite the rapid urbanization of seemingly everything around us, there's still a lot of untamed wilderness out there

I love how they speak as if someone can become stranded there. You don’t need to worry about getting off the island because it’s probably harder to get on the island.

Basically the ideal hideout for a villain.

Bouvet looks like where Club Penguin used to be. I don’t think it’ll be that bad

Norway: "It's free real-estate."
Everyone else: "Is it, though?"

"What would happen if you were transport there right now?"
*me sitting in my underwear* oh yeah, I'd be screwed

The odds of surviving on this island is as low as the odds of reaching here.

I remember finding this island on a map is my highschool class room 10 years ago and it was my special piece of knowledge back then, every time I see a video on Bouvet Island it brings me to then and I am happy more people are learning about it.

Imagine someone is actually there and we just don't know because it's so remote.

It’s best to avoid tourist season when you go there :P
