Mitolsk Island

Mitolsk island is the most desolate island in the world, 3300 miles from any other landmass. It has no permanent population and is only visited once a decade by the CND Mereyevsk frigate. It has a average all year temperature of -40 degrees Celsius.

History
Mitolsk was discovered by Analyev Mitolsk in June 30th, 1851.He named it after himself, and declared it a territory of Custardia. Analyev described it in his journal on July 1st a da after landing as a barren, freezing wasteland. In WW1 it was used to notify the government of German movements in South Africa. It was deserted until 1961 when the South African government claimed it, and ever since, a frigate was sent to the island every 5 years to make sure it was Custardian territory. In 1989 the government decided to get rid of half of the nuclear arsenal, and dumped the bombs on Mitolsk Island. A month later, a flash was detected on the island by the people 3000 miles away, and it was confirmed as a 1-15 kt nuclear blast. It is unaware why it detonated, so no one but the navy can land on Mitolsk. It has been emitting small amounts of radiation, so the visits were made every10 years, instead of 5. In 2009 during the last visit so far and the first since the detonation, scientists did detect the effects of a blast of one of the bombs. The next visit is scheduled 10th of November, 2019.
