How People Live on Palmerston: 35 People, One Family Tree | 4K Documentary

How People Live on Palmerston: 35 People, One Family Tree | 4K Documentary Palmerston is one of the most isolated inhabited islands on Earth — a tiny coral atoll in the Cook Islands, home to only around 35 people, every one of them a descendant of a single Englishman, William Marsters, and his three Polynesian wives who arrived over 160 years ago. With no airport, no natural freshwater, and no reliable power grid, life on Palmerston depends entirely on the ocean — and on rules laid down by one man generations ago that still decide who can marry whom today. 📍 Location: Palmerston Atoll, Cook Islands, South Pacific 🔔 Subscribe for more stories of the world's most isolated places! #PalmerstonIsland #TravelDocumentary #IsolatedIsland #PacificIsland #IslandLife
