  • I love the mysteries of this place. I've done some research on it, and it has a few interesting unsolved myteries. As the most remote island in the world (to my knowledge) it would be a good place to get away from it all...if one doesn't mind artic temperatures. Alas, I think it is a natural reserve, so no summer home for me....darn !
  • If it had an Artic climate i'd be worried!
  • great place to live if you really hate people. plenty of room and man, what a view!
  • also forgot. you can also walk around naked if it weren't for the cold?
  • Predator's hunting area. :) Not always luckily done hunting...
