Out Stack or Oosta in Shetland, Scotland, is the northernmost of the British Isles, lying immediately to the north of Muckle Flugga and 3 km (1.8 miles) north of the island of Unst. It is one of the North Isles of the Shetland Islands and lies within the Hermaness National Nature Reserve. Out Stack is little more than a rocky outcrop, and is uninhabited. It has been described as "the full stop at the end of Britain". Travellers do not encounter any further land masses between Out Stack and the North Pole if heading directly north. Lady Jane Franklin, the wife of ill-fated Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin landed on the Out Stack in the 1850s, as it was the closest she could get to her missing husband.
