　　 Tristan da Cunha, a 38-square-mile island is the farthest inhabited island in the world , according to the Guinness Book of Records . It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor, St.Helena, and 1,950 miles west of Africa . Discovered by the Portuguese admiral (葡萄牙海军上将) of the same name in 1506 , and settled in 1810 , the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred .

　　 Coming in a close second - and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land - is Easter Island , which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor , Pitcairn Island , and 2,300 miles west of South America .

　　 The mountainous 64-squarc-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years , giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures , called moai , for which the island is most famous .

　　 On Easter Sunday , 1722 , however , settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name . Today , 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory (智利领土) . They share one street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day .
