Why Did an Entire Island Choose to Return to a Volcano?

Tristan da Cunha is the most isolated permanently inhabited settlement on Earth — no airport, no natural harbor, and no way out without days at sea. Fewer than 300 people live on this volcanic island in the South Atlantic, and they chose every bit of it. In this video, we trace the full story: how a military outpost built to watch over Napoleon accidentally became a permanent civilization, why an entire population evacuated to England in 1961 and then turned around and went back, and what threatens the island's survival today — from a shrinking workforce to the hard limits of extreme geography. This is the story of a community that has survived for two centuries on nothing but self-reliance and the decision, made over and over again, to stay.
