Tiny places in the Empire I'd like to visit

[Admiral Beez]

I'm always interested in those tiny spots on the map that for whatever reason still claim allegiance to Britain, and would one day like to visit them. For details see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Overseas_Territory

Here's my top list of tiny or obscure places in this category that I'd like to visit. I've omited Bermuda (66,000 pop), Cayman Islands (45,000 pop), Turks and Caicos Islands (32,000 pop), Anguilla (13,500 pop) and Montserrat (4,500 pop) due to their higher populations and obvious Carribbean/Bermudan lack of obscurity.

Tristan da Cunha
http://www.tristandc.com/
Population: 269

Saint Helena
http://www.sainthelena.gov.sh/
Population: 3,926

Pitcairn Islands
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcairn_island
Population: 48

Falkland Islands
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkland_islands
Population: 3,060

So, have any of you guys been to obscure spots outside of the obvious Carribbean routes?

I haven't been to any of those obscure spots. But, funny you should raise the topic. I had to be at the office really early this morning, and around 4:30 a.m. I was in the car and was listening to CBC Radio One. They were broadcasting a Deutsche Welle piece on a French diplomat who has a fascination with remote islands. The smaller and more obscure/remote the better.

A quick search uncovered the article/podcast here: http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2750705,00.html

Tristan da Cunha is especially interesting to me, since it's really in the middle of nowhere, and even this ex-pat Brit didn't know it existed until I was looking up info on the Falkland Islands war and saw this little spec on the map with a Union flag.
