"Project Description: On April 18th 2009, the New Scientist published an article on a remarkable project developed by researchers at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy, and the World Bank. The authors combined a series of maps to create a new map of connectedness showing the most interconnected and remote places on earth. The maps are based on a model which calculated how long it would take to travel to the nearest city of 50,000 or more people by land or water. The model combines information on terrain and access to road, rail and river networks. It also considers how factors such as altitude, steepness of terrain and hold-ups like border crossings slow travel." - Demetrios the Traveller from Bookmarklet
Tibetan Plateau is the most remote place on earth. Somehow that is calming to know. At least there is still one place on earth that is at peace (relatively speaking ;) - echostreamer
