Every week, we visit an inhabited place most people have never heard of, and find out what made it tick.
Not tourist destinations. Not famous landmarks. Places where people woke up every morning in circumstances most of us can't imagine — a coal town on a frozen archipelago governed by a 1920 treaty, a volcanic island where the mail boat comes twice a year, a village where the ground has been on fire for decades.
How did they get there? Who stayed? And what does it tell us about the edges of how humans choose to live?
