The Loneliest House in the World Location: Elliðaey, Iceland
Originally built in the 1950s as a lodge for puffin hunters, this house is often referred to as the most secluded home in the world. There is a widespread misconception among foreign fans that the Icelandic singer, Björk, has lived on/owned the island. This misconception comes from a speech by the Icelandic prime minister, who in year 2000 said he would be willing to allow Björk to live for free on an island in Breiðafjörður which is also named Elliðaey. The artist, however, never purchased the island or a house there. Today, the island is deserted with no residents since the 1930s
