Ever wondered how far humans will go to build an airport? Here are 5 of the world’s remotest international airports — where getting there is half the adventure:

1️⃣ Paro International Airport, Bhutan – Nestled in the Himalayas, surrounded by towering peaks. Only a handful of specially trained pilots are certified to land here!

2️⃣ Mataveri International Airport (Easter Island, Chile) – Perhaps the most isolated airport on Earth, located 3,700 km from mainland Chile in the Pacific Ocean.

3️⃣ Svalbard Airport, Norway – The northernmost commercial airport in the world, serving the Arctic outpost of Longyearbyen.

4️⃣ St. Helena Airport, South Atlantic Ocean (UK Overseas Territory) – Nicknamed “the world’s most useless airport” when it opened due to tricky wind conditions, but now a lifeline to this island of 4,000 people.

5️⃣ Narsarsuaq Airport, Greenland – Built by the U.S. in WWII, it’s surrounded by icy fjords and glaciers, with approaches that test even the best pilots.

These airports remind us that no place is truly out of reach for human determination (and a sturdy aircraft).

Travel Through Unusual Jewish History

Jewish stories aren’t only found in Jerusalem or New York. Across the globe, unexpected communities left behind rich traditions, synagogues, and legends. If you’re looking for unique destinations that combine culture, heritage, and adventure — here are five fascinating stops:

🔹 Jodensavanne, Suriname (South America)
Deep in the Surinamese jungle lie the haunting ruins of a 17th-century Jewish village — one of the first autonomous Jewish settlements in the Americas, complete with synagogue and cemetery.

🔹 Kaifeng, China
Along the Silk Road, Jewish traders planted roots nearly 1,000 years ago. Though their synagogue is gone, descendants still keep the memory alive in family names and traditions.

🔹 Ethiopia (Beta Israel)
The Beta Israel community preserved Judaism in isolation for centuries. Their ancient traditions and dramatic 20th-century Aliyah to Israel make their story one of resilience and faith.

🔹 Chendamangalam Synagogue, Kerala, India
Built in the 15th century, this synagogue blends Kerala architecture with Jewish design. Its Jewish museum showcases centuries of spice-route connections.

🔹 The Lemba, Southern Africa
A tribe in Zimbabwe and South Africa whose oral history — and even DNA studies — point to Jewish ancestry. Their rituals and traditions echo ancient practices in surprising ways.

These places reveal just how far Jewish life has traveled — and how diverse its expressions have been. Whether you’re a heritage traveler, a history buff, or just curious, these destinations invite you to explore Jewish history beyond the expected.
