Bouvet Island
Antarctic
Bouvet Island or Bouvetøya is one of the sub-Antarctic islands, an uninhabited ice-clad place 2,600 km south-southwest of Cape Town. It has a good claim to be the world's most remote island: anywhere within 2,000 km is similarly desolate, such as mainland Antarctica. It lies 6,040 km south of the equator and is a dependency of Norway; for comparison, Oslo main railway station is 6650 km north of the equator and can be cold but never ice-clad. That's testament to the chill of the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica, compared to the balmy North Atlantic.

The 7, 14 and 30-day figures re-price the whole trip at that length — flights and visas do not repeat, so a month is far from four times a week.
