Heard Island Volcano, Australia

Australia's Heard Island is the home of the infamous Heard Volcano. Now, while the island technically belongs to Australia, it's actually located between Madagascar and Antarctica. That alone would be enough to discourage most people from going there (it's an expensive flight for many of us), but just in case you needed another reason to avoid the island, the Heard Volcano is still active to this day. The island also has notoriously poor weather conditions.

What do you get when you combine all these factors? Well, you get an island that takes approximately two weeks to travel to and is reserved for only scientists and National Geographic staff.
