The remotest place on Earth
People are everywhere these days, but if you really want to “get away from it all”, the remotest place on Earth, aside from Antarctica,
turns out to be Tibet
. This from a
New Scientist
article (and
related blog post
) that explores travel times in the
global accessibility map
we discussed in
a blog post last year
. The
“remotest point on Earth”, 34.7°N, 85.7°E
, apparently takes a day by car and 20 days on foot from
Lhasa
. Or maybe you’d rather visit the “wildest” place on Earth- there are
maps that can help you get there as well
.
For now, I’ll stick with getting back to nature here in my
urban anthrome
, and save a bit of carbon.
