5- Ittoqqortoormiit in Greenland
Greenland is one of the remote locations in the World, but Illoqortormiut is particularly difficult to reach. The sea surrounds the village.

Getting to Ittoqqortoormiit is as tricky as pronouncing its name: a few months a year, twice a week, a plane leaves Iceland for this village, but after landing, you still have to take a helicopter, if you are lucky, or sail to the town.

The sea surrounds the village. As it is frozen most of the year, it is not navigable.
