The loneliest house in the world

In Iceland there is a small island a few miles from the coast called Ellidaey Island. Photographs surfaced on the Internet a little while ago with a small dot that looked like a structure. People were immediately fascinated and started carrying out     1     on this lonely island. It turns out that the island was inhabited (居住) by 5 families over 300 years ago.

The last permanent inhabitants left the island around 1930 and the only thing     2     was one single house. The families     3     themselves by hunting puffins, fishing, and raising cattle.

There have been a lot of     4     as to who owns the house now. Many have said that a secret billionaire has purchased the island and now lives there. But in fact, the house serves as a shelter for people hunting on the island today.

Nobody lives there but it provides a safe and peaceful place for those who     5     to the magical and lonely island. This looks like one of the loneliest places in the world. It looks like for a few weeks at a time this place would be     6    .

The lodge (小屋) that can be seen on this island was built in 1953 by the Ellidaey Hunting Association. People with the association have     7     this “The Hunting Lodge”. The building does not have any supply of electricity or indoor plumbing (水暖). However, the Hunting Lodge does have sauna (桑拿), so you can relax after hunting. There is some water     8    , which can be used for the sauna, cooking, and also for drinking. This water comes from a rain     9     system. Additionally,     10     with special materials, this lodge is only used for hunting through the Ellidaey Hunting Association.

The term ‘dark tourism’ is far newer than the practice, which long predates(早于) Pompeii's     1     as a dark attraction. Dr Philip Stone, perhaps the world’s leading academic expert on dark tourism, considers the Roman Colosseum to be one of first dark tourist sites, where people travelled long distances to watch death as sport. Later, until the late 18" century, the appeal was crueler in central London, where people paid money to sit in grandstands to watch mass hangings. Dealers would sell pies at the site, which was     2     where Marble Arch stands today.

It was only in 1996 that ‘dark tourism’ entered the scholarly vocabulary when two academics in Glasgow     3     it while looking at sites associated with the murder of John F.Kennedy. Those who study dark tourism     4     plenty of reasons for the growing phenomenon, including raised awareness of it as an identifiable thing.     5    to sites has also improved with the arrival of cheap air travel. It’s hard to imagine that the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial and museum would now welcome more than two million visitors a year were it not for its     6     to Krakow’s international airport. Peter Hohenhaus, a     7     travelled dark tourist based in Vienna, also points to the broader rise in off-the-beaten track tourism, beyond the territory of popular guidebooks and TripAdvisor rankings. “A lot of people don't want     8     tourism and that often means engaging with places that have a more recent history.” he says. “ You go to Sarajevo and most people remember the war being in the news so it feels closer to one’s own biography.” Hohenhaus is also a fan of beauty in decay, the contemporary cultural movement in which urban ruins have become     9     matter for expensive coffee-table books and a thousand Instagram accounts. The crossover with death is clear. “ I have always been drawn to ruined things,” the 54-year-old says. But while, like any tourism, dark tourism at its best is     10     , the example of Grenfell Tower (a London tower block, destroyed by a fire in 2017 with 71 deaths) hints at the unease felt at some sites. “ ...I would not stand in the street taking a selfie merrily.”
