World's Loneliest House, Abandoned For Over 100 Years by ogbiwa: 8:23am On Dec 18, 2020
Introverts are captivated by what's been dubbed the loneliest house in the world.

Photos of a picturesque white house perched on the clifftop of a tiny deserted island surrounded by sea have emerged online in recent days.

Many have joked that it's the perfect place to wait out a pandemic because of the lack of neighbours, with no helipad or jetty clearly visible in the breathtaking pictures.

"Looks like bliss," said one Reddit user, while another remarked it was "my dream house location".

Others have even said it would serve the occupants well in a zombie apocalypse or other catastrophe, although most have said they'd struggle with feelings of loneliness.

The incredibly isolated property is located on Elliðaey, south of Iceland, the most northeastern of the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago cluster.

The island offers absolutely no protection from the elements, so whoever lived there would have to cope with intense wind and cold.

A handful of families did in fact inhabit the island throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, but the final occupants moved to the mainland in the 1930s.

The island has been empty ever since, and it's prompted a number of theories including that it was inhabited by a religious hermit or was in the process of being bought by singer Björk.

In fact the house on the island is a lodge belonging to the Elliðaey Hunting Association, sadly for anyone excited by the prospect of moving there to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life.

I would have said Buhari should be sent there, but the old Dullard needs some torture.
Except they'll empty all the animals in Buratai's farm on the island to keep him company undecided
