- Around the world there are believed to be as many as 900 thousand islands that range from small rocky outcrops to wealthy, thriving communities. There’s such a huge variety that depends on how they were originally formed and their location… and, while many may be quite similar to one another, there are some that stand out as being truly unique. From one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, to manmade ones and those with vast natural resources, it’s time to take a tour of the 15 most rare islands on earth.

You missed the most fascinating aspect of Macquarie Island. It is the only place on earth where rocks from the Earth's mantel are being exposed above sea level. In fact, this is the actual reason it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, not because of the wildlife.
About Rapa Nui island: The people living there already destroyed the Island themselves before Jacob Roggeveen visited the Island.
Yea deforestation. The arrival of Europeans actually made it better.
@@timesthree5757 No! Europeans evil! Everyone else good!
/s
@@timesthree5757 facts waring tribes u mean Easter Island
@@christalball93_ yep let’s call it by its real name. Easter Island.
Lovely documentary. Showing the fascination of islands and their communities, though of course there are many others in this world. You finish on Tory island, what a nice touch. Followed this on Google maps.
Thank you
Enjoyed that
Almost fabulous 😍🤩❤🎉
this made me have to visit each one of them, thank you 💝
The shell island sounds like a place you wouldn't want to go barefoot 😱
same with Lego Island
Thank you❤🌹🙏 very nice video sir
Very Interesting Video, Thanks.
So beautiful I love your channel thank you
Amazing....
I like your video 👍
Socotra Island, the native people there have a string of DNA that no other ethnicity has, even their human population is unique. And as for the Dragon Blood tree, it has a lot of health and medicinal benefits
Yesss I love my island in it’s nature, now there are sadly more people there who don’t respect the religious boundaries as well as UAE chopping down 20,000 of our trees 😔
Highest volcano density per sq. km. 7 volcanoes in its 5 towns. Camiguin Island - the Province of Camiguin, Philippines.
Easter Island was already a mess when the Chilleans got there. Notice the deforestation? Inner tribal warfare had reduced the island to a shadow of it's former greatness.
Shoutout to the North Sentilese people for their virulent anti-colonizer stance 👏
Someone should put a resort on there so they can watch the natives.
@@liamwoodman4950 Something a white person would say. This comment is cringe as fuck.
@@OrlandoCoolridge in case you can't tell it was a joke. And you are a racist.
@@liamwoodman4950 There was very little indication that was a joke. Not racist, experienced.
@@OrlandoCoolridge racist.
Gotta love how the channel is called “ top 5 “
But there’s always like 15 😂😂😂
Great video man, respect for doing the research. Actually amazed :D
I love islands. I live on an island, off the coast of another island, and have three islands on my land. Lol
All islands are cool, because they're all different.
The North Sentinel Island India, the first image used is incorrect. The image is a highlands tribes in Papua New Guinea no way close to india.
How does that diamond mine not end up flooded? You’d think being that it’s an island that they would have water coming into the mines there. I mean I know you could pump it out, but seems odd to me, can’t pump out the whole ocean worth of water that could constantly keep refilling. Obviously that’s not happening. But just seemed odd to me.
It’s north of the attic circle. The ground is frozen solid.
They built a dam around the mine.
@@johnarnold6623 The ground isn't frozen under the lake.
I would imagine they use pumps like they do in the taconite mines of the iron range. Even hard rock mines have to pump when they dig below the water table
I helped design and build Diavik. We used a water-tight cutoff wall to keep the water out. But it was challenging, because the cutoff wall was built in the lake where only the surface freezes in winter. Everything we built would become permafrost, and the cutoff wall had to work while the cutoff was still thawed, while it was freezing and then afterwards when it froze solid (today). We also used deep grouting to further reduce water inflow that might come from deep in the rock.
Ah dragons blood its a great incense kind of musky
You should do one on the deadliest pants/tress
Sealand actually announced it was extending its territorial waters the day before the UK did and argued the UK was in its waters mostly as they knew the UK would do the same!
Macquarie (rhymes with lorrie) not wary
Like 'Mcworry' 😅
Every island is unique, there for all are equally rare.
India 🇮🇳
Meow meow Island ❤️
Tashirojima island sounds like an island where cats go to vacation
Or a male crazy-cat lady like me!
@@MoonlightXYZ *male*
*lady*

hold up, wait a minute..
Somethin ain’t right
@@PlotagonEditor_lol saying I'm a crazy cat guy just doesn't sound right.
@@MoonlightXYZ nonono a crazy cat guy sounds fine
but a crazy *male* cat *lady* ???
excuse me are you a girl or a boy make up your mind- 😂
Why wasn't Pitcairn Island on this list???
all of the images of habitats on Sentinel island are not on Sentinel at all.
Who said Sealand is english?
Is it just me, or does this man sound like Charlie Sheen?
Every island is rare. There’s no such thing as the rarest island.
You tube getting too excited with the adverts 4 in first 4 mins of 20 secs or more
Jima = Island
Why no mention of Pitcairn Island?
Here, here
Lord Howe Island is much more interesting than a lot of these islands.
Very interesting it is??
I just looked up Corn Crakes and it says they are "Least Concern (population stable)", perhaps it only applies to the Corn Crakes found in Ireland.
That is strange cos their habitat has virtually disappeared. There are schemes in place to help them in Ireland and Scotland
@@jontalbot1 Sad to hear to that, I reckon they're slow to update the statistics. I hope they work out
The island Pitcairn in the South pacific.
Exist.
Is in that ,including and the ..horse island ..?
How come BOUVET ISLAND is not on this list, it’s totally un inhabitant & no one has touched foot on it ever.
Not true.. some norwegian scientists visit it regularly..as owners..but obv due to its isolated status plus semi permanent icey situation, no one else does.. or would want to..!!
Maka ponga Nana tatutani khemi khawi "understand this" king words

887 is almost 900, not almost 1k
Or 'rarest', even...
You are lying, it was Peru who took the people from the Island to the Continent as slaves. The chilean navy came to rescue the natives who where starving. And, the people stopped building Moais centuries before the time you are speaking about

Island
Strange title. Aren't all (natural) islands equally rare as there is only one of each?
Was thinking the same... Probably they meant "unique."
Oops and then there is ahem Rockall in the N Atlantic. Part of Scotland tho both Denmark (thru the nearby Faroe) and Ireland deny that such a uninhabited and frankly downright uninhabitable piece of rock, can generate a 12 mile fisheries limit round it!!
The word is "rarest" not "most rare."
It's pronounced die-a-vek
Hi there, thank you so much for that correction. I'm the narrator for this channel and I always try to find a reliable source of pronunciations. That one, if I remember correctly always gave me trouble to find a correct pronunciation. 😊
@@ChrisKane- Happy I could help! 😊 LOVE your videos. Especially when they include info about Canada 🇨🇦
Hearing your pronoucation of Macquarie Island made me cringe as a Tasmanian 😅
“Mack-wear-ee, near Mel-bawn , and Bris-bayne.
Love you Ohhh-sees.”
.”Yeah nah, get a dog up ya Seppo”
I must have missed it...didn't hear it mentioned.
I giggled when I learned that the nickname for this island is called macca
Congratulations
@@ohcrounches1989 apparently the island is made from oceanic crust and exposed material from the mantle
isnt every island rare as all are 1 of 1
Cat island!!!
I like your picture, how long do you keep your hair? I find that attractive, please describe it?
"Rarest" is the word you want, not "most rare."
BOUVET ISLAND is also the WORLDS most REMOTE island
Damm colonization killed Easter Island people 😕
How is an island rare? 😂 you mean unique.
Several of those shots you show of North Sentinel Island are of a tribal community's village in the Amazon, thousands of miles away. Do better.
That's pretty obvious considering the Sentinelese have never been contacted. Think better.
First shot was of the Huli people in Papua New Guinea.
Maderchodo mtlb to smjho
It’s always disappointing when a colony of feral cats is identified somewhere and everyone gets excited, and people start feeding them because they’re cute. There’s seldom a discussion of the ecological devastation that released cats cause local species because they are very effective hunters. They are terrible for the environment. The proper thing to do would be to exterminate the whole population, like any other overrun invasive species introduced into an ecosystem. If they didn’t have fur that’s likely what would happen.
Agree
This case is different. Oh and you are completely wrong about people not discussing the eco effects. People are banging on it about all the time. People like you for example. We all know about invasive species. Programmes to catch and release are in full swing in most areas. You are ignorant about Cat Island. You seem to forget humans exterminating many wild cats. Your statement of killing the whole population has me wondering about your mental health. After all aren’t humans outside of Africa an invasive species. Your ignorance on removal of cats on certain islands is amazing. On one island where the cats were removed led to a rat explosion and rats eating eggs of endangered birds.
What does rarest island even mean? That makes no sense whatsoever. Fuck clickbait.
FFS, do you know what a quarry is, well Macquarie Island is pronounced as Mac quarry.
Do U think Sentinel Island would take a Refugee?? ~ I'm sick of feeling this Western World Bullshit ! lol😅
Sadly, they kill outsiders to prevent the spread of germs. I’m sure you can find a better place. 🙂
It's good to have a notion of the earth's ups and downs, you couldn't make a worst mistake at dating the figures on "Easter Island", the guessing age you mentioned is hundreds of thousands of years off mark. I'll just have to bear the bunch of lies that science comes up with.
You're wrong, they are 20 million years old.
Cat island ?…. No wonder the Asian restaurants didn’t lose money when chicken was in short supply😂😂😂😂😂
I Thought Asian restaurants serve Dog meat.
😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
Fun fact: we are all living on island 🙂
Neat picture, happen to be a lady with very long hair? I find that very attractive, please describe it?
This show is WRONG! Easter island used to be connected to larger land mass when the ocean was more shallow
A lot of bad false information here. Rapa Nui people on the island for 1-6 thousand years? And the building of Moi stopped because of European invasion? No wonder so many people are completely misinformed about everything
