Don't you wish you could just get away from it all?

With a trip to any of these distant and remote islands, you can-literally, all of it.

CNN named some of the most mysterious and dangerous islands from around the world in a recent article.

Some of the locations listed below are sealed off from any tourism at all. Most are considered dangerous, whether for active volcanoes, harsh winters or pure distance from general civilization.

Access to these far-off spots can often be hard to come by, but are worth visiting at least once, and warrant the effort.

1. Bouvet

Location: 1,000 miles from Antarctica

Bouvet is the most remote, uninhabited island in the world. It is almost completely encased by a glacier, and its winter is characterized by complete ice everywhere, with very little life. The nearest landmass is Antartica, that lies about a thousand miles to the south.

The island is a natural reserve, and you must acquire permission from Norwegian authorities to visit. There are no ports, however, so helicopter landing is necessary. In 1990, a group of explorers spent 16 days on Bouvet.

2. Tristan da Cunha

Location: 1,750 miles from South Africa

Welcome to the most remote, inhabited island counterpart to Bouvet: Tristan da Cunha is a string of British islands that sits between South Africa and South America. When a small volcano erupted there in 1961, the entire island was evacuated, and citizens were sent to England.

Tristan da Cunha's official website details ways to get to the island, but it does seem a hairy endeavor.

"There are no package tours for independent travelers, no hotels, no airport, no holiday reps, no night clubs, no restaurants, no jet skis nor safe sea swimming," it reads.

Any tourists must clear their arrival through the Island Council, and also are required to present a Police Certificate on a moment's notice.

3. North Sentinel Island

Location: 400 miles from Myanmar 

The Sentinelese-a pre-Neolithic tribe thought to number between 50 and 200- inhabit this island, and want it to stay that way. They have sealed shunned any contact with the modern world, and will resort to violent defense if necessary. This story on the fishermen who accidentally floated onto the island and ultimately met their demise should put you off from visiting this island, which has a three-mile exclusion zone ringed around it.
