4. Jan Mayen Island
Jan Mayen is a volcanic island located in the North Arctic Ocean and is a part of the kingdom of Norway. It has around 18 military and scientific personnel stationed there for research. Special Permission is required from the Norwegian government but that doesn't mean going there by plane or boat is easy.
There's just one flight per month and due to the absence of harbours, and ferries there are sparse. The island maybe virtually uninhabited except for defense forces but it has been significant throughout history from being a migration point of ancient monks to being a strategic standpoint of the Allied forces.
If you're a Geology buff you must visit the island just for the heck of it. The views are amazing, and hey, you having bragging rights when you get back!
