The most remote place on earth ?

Some of those valleys in China are pretty remote. Though I would have gone with French Guyana.

Technically it is Hawaii - further from anyother land mass than anyother point on earth.

However, if you are speaking in terms of how hard to get to, that is another story.

Remote from what?

Pretty sure it's not China, It's pretty hard to be "remote" anywhere in a nation with over a billion people.

I think Antarctica is a more likely candidate.

I feel it is here, with me, though I am surrounded by family most times.

Wait a minute...now that I consider it, I think I heard something similar about Easter Island.

I remember reading that before the first European ships showed up, people oEaster Island thought their island was literally the only piece of land in a universe of infinite water.

Definitely some of the science stations in Antarctica.

Easter Island is on this list, though I had read about Hawaii in the past

It's within yourself. You'd never think to look there.

Isn't it kinda creepy being on an island like that? I mean, there's only so far you could realistically go. Me, I can run, on land, thousands of miles in three directions. There's a comforting and safe feeling that comes with that.

Gives me the heebee-jeebees just thinking about it.

That link is awesome, thanks!

maybe way out in greenland somewhere

That's one of the things I love about it!

And I live at the end of the road. This is literally my back yard. The helicopter takes off from the field next to my house.

That's got "remote" written all over it.


My father was the base commander at Camp Century for a time maybe about 1960 or so. They had 5 month tours it was so remote. Could have been 1962, I don't remember.

Camp Century was way up there in the western part of Greenland above Canada about 90 miles from Thule Air Force Base.

When they traveled, the equipment sometimes traveled about 1 mile an hour due to the extreme conditions. Maybe it was 10 miles an hour. In either case it was damn slow.

The soldiers were allowed to consume as many calories as they wanted. They consumed about 5,000 calories a day.

My father came back having gained about 25-30 pounds.

Ushuaia?

Okay, okay, now you're just bragging.



Beautiful piece of the world you live in.

(But still a claustrophobic little island, lol)
