Bouvet Island was discovered on 1 Januari 1739 and no one was able to set a foot on this island until 1825.
After its discoverer by Jean-Baptiste Charles Bouvet de Lozier, it was given two other names (Lindsay Island and Liverpool Island) until finally it became a Norwegian dependency under the name of its original discoverer.
It is considered the most remote island in the world.
Nowadays it houses an unmanned weather station.
There is a rather intriguing story about this island and an abandoned whaler found there. You can read here all about it. (Thanks Steve)
