11. Antarctica

Probably the best and the worst place to escape nuclear fallout. The best place because it is at one of Earth’s pole and thus so out of reach that fallout dispersion would have significantly dropped before reaching this point. Moreover, Antarctica is a place of peaceful research only after the Antarctic Treaty was signed in 1959, defining this continent as “to be used exclusively for peaceful purposes and shall not become the scene or object of international discord.”

Granted, it will also be the worst place to escape to: windiest, coldest, driest land on the planet and shared with penguins and polar bears. Resources will be hard to get by without proper equipment.
