Bouvet Island
Historically known as the Lindsay Island or the Liverpool Island, Bouvet Island is an uninhabited island located in the southern Atlantic Ocean. The island is located at one of the most remote areas of the earth and is almost covered with glaciers. The nearest island from Bouvet is Queen Maud Land which is located at a distance of 1,600 kilometers and alike Bouvet Island is uninhabited. There are no harbors or ports in the island, thus the only thing that can be done is offshore anchoring. For the people who want to land on the island the easiest thing is to use a helicopter from the deck of a ship. The cruel climate of the island makes it almost impossible for any vegetation to take place. Only few mosses and lichens are found on the inland.
Jean-Baptist Charles Bouvet de Lozier was the founder of the Bouvet Island in 1st January, 1739. After even been founded, no one exactly knew whether the Bouvet Island was a part of a continent or actually an island. After this many expeditions took place in search of this island and in 1808, the captain of the Enderby Company named James Lindsay found it.
