What do you feel is the most REMOTE place in the world?

Kamchatka isn't as remote as you'd think. North American tour companies send fishing and hiking groups there all the time. There are direct flights from Anchorage in the summer (only 3hr. flight). And Alaska Airlines is finally getting ready to revive their direct flight schedule to Kamchatka, Magadan, Khabarovsk and Vladivostok.

Easter Island (any Pacific Island nation)
Tuva,
Mongolia
Yakutia
Yamal Peninsula
Papua/New Guinea, Solomon Islands
Faroe Islands
Falkland Islands
Lake Baikal (Buryat Republic, Russ Federation), but it's very much worth the effort to visit
Tibet, Bhutan
Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon
Paraguay
Greenland
South Georgia Island
Georgia Sea Islands (USA), not the tourist-developed ones, the Gullah-speaking ones.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Madagascar
Kyrgyzstan
Swaziland
Eastern Angola
Botswana
Eastern Alaska
Aleutians,
Kurile Islands

I guess there are several ideas of what 'remote' is. Bhutan might be somewhat inaccessible, but it's probably within a 1000 mile radius of at a quarter of the world's population, and close to the Ganges valley, one of the most densely populated areas of the globe over a large area.

Funnily enough you seem to miss out the really remote areas: NE Siberia, the Amazon, Sahara, Central Australia. Although even Siberia seems to have quite a few cities dotted across it.

I did have questions about the definition of "remote". I did mention that NE Siberia isn't as remote as people might think. Easily accessible from Alaska. I listed the Amazon, right after Tibet/Bhutan. There are lots of places in Siberia that are remote, I didn't want to bore people with a list of places they'd never heard of. And I decided to skip Australia, since I didn't know enough about the interior. There are towns here and there, like Alice Springs.
