What is the most remote, distant geographic location you've been?

the blue lagoon of Aitutaki in the South Pacific

300 miles south of the tip of South Africa. I'd taken off in a 41' sloop with a crew of five, headed for Reunion Island, and within 12 hours a storm turned into a Force 9 gale and drove us in the opposite direction for 6 days. We tipped twice, and that second time as we were trying to right the boat, I thought this is the loneliest place on earth.

In terms of land, it was Farquhar island, an 8 sq. km spot that is part of the Seychelles Islands north of Madagasgar. About 70 inhabitants.

On hold with Dell technical support.

Somewhere in Death Valley. I fealt like I was 500 miles from another living soul, but was probably only 150 feet from the road.

Five miles north of the sign marking the Arctic Circle is probably the most distant, but Fort Liard, Northwest Territories actually felt like the most remote.

Way North of Thule, Greenland.
Probably as close to the North Pole (and Santa's Workshop) as I'm gonna get.

Top of a 2500 meter high 'mountain' in Baluchistan, Pakistan. Three of us free climbed the side of the mountain with surveying gear. Before we started up, we met a boy with a small herd of goats and a camel. The one guy from Pakistan spoke to the boy, who said 'there is a way up the mountain' and pointed.

When we got to the top a few hours later, scratched, tired, and sore.... there was the boy brewing tea over a small fire. He laughed, and pointed out the nice smooth trail leading up the back of the mountain...

That night you could see for miles, and there was perhaps one cooking fire that we could see. It was like being on the surface of another planet.
