* There is somewhere worse than mainland Alaska in the U.S. Military. An island called [[wikipedia:Shemya|Shemya]] in the Aleutians, a group of islands off the coast of the Alaskan Peninsula. According to legend, the wind never drops below 60 knots, the temperature never rises above -20 C and there's a 10-foot visibility fog 300 days of the year. Primary duty there is clearing the runway of obstructions. Every time someone left, they took a rock with them so someday there would be no more island and no would ever have to go back. Or so that legend goes.
* Celtic Saint Columba started his career as a Monk of noble birth. He was exiled from Ireland for embarrassing his superiors by taking part in a clan feud and set up shop on the island of Iona.
* [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] was subject to this ''twice''. First to Elba, which he escaped from, and then Saint Helena, which he did not and eventually died on.
