Today we journey to the farthest corner of the South Atlantic to uncover the story of Bouvet Island—the most remote, uninhabited place on the planet.

Discovered on New Year’s Day 1739 by French explorer Jean-Baptiste Charles Bouvet de Lozier, this icy volcanic island was “lost” for decades thanks to a cartographic error.

From the high seas drama of its rediscovery to its peculiar status as a Norwegian dependency, Bouvet Island has remained a mysterious outpost of scientific intrigue and ecological wonder.

Tune in as we navigate its history, myths, and legacy, exploring how this frozen rock captured imaginations and claimed its place in the annals of exploration.
