Tristan da Cunha: America's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has recently released some new pictures, which have once again caught the attention of the world. NASA showed people a part of the world, where a world completely different from the Earth is settled. The name of this island is Tristan da Cunha. Actually, this is an island which is completely different from the world. Tristan da Cunha Island is surrounded by a vast ocean on all sides. There is forest all around it.
There is a wide variety of climate on the earth. Hence, amazing diversity is reflected in every aspect of human habitation, society, habitat, tradition, culture, language, life and food. Whether it is the coldest regions like Siberia, Alaska, Denmark or Greenland or the hottest regions like Kuwait, where the temperature is above 50 degrees, it is a very challenging task to sustain life in all these regions. Similarly, human life is not easy even on an island surrounded by a vast ocean. Amidst all the challenges, it is the passion of the people that keeps them alive here.

Every region that faces climate change has a similarity. These areas are very sparsely populated. Denmark has a population of less than 6 million. Greenland is a big country, but its population is only 56 thousand. The population of Alaska is only 7.5 lakhs. So the population of Siberia is three and a half crores. The same is the situation of the secluded island of Tristan da Cunha. The population of this island was earlier 250, which has come down to only 234 in the year 2023. All of them are citizens of the British Overseas Territory.

It is 2787 kilometers away from Cape Town in South Africa. There is no air connectivity to reach this island. It can be reached only by boat. It takes 6 days to reach Tristan da Cunha Island from South Africa.
It is a group of volcanic islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. Tristan da Cunha covers about 98 square kilometers. The island group has a weather station on Gough Island. In addition, there are smaller islands, including the inaccessible Nightingale Island, which is uninhabited.
