In 1955, the South African frigate Transvaal visited the island.[22] Nyrøysa, a rock-strewn ice-free area, the largest such on Bouvet, was created sometime between 1955 and 1958, probably by a landslide.[23] A scientific landing in 1978 measured the underground temperature at 25 °C (77 °F).

Of course, Antarctica is the most remote & inhospitable landmass on earth.
