The degree of remoteness is, of course, relative and dependent upon how one defines remoteness, but my vote for the world’s most remote island would be Heard Island, in the far south Indian (or Southern) Ocean. Heard Island is an Australian External Territory located at 53.1 S 73.5 E, about 300 miles (450 km) southeast of of the French-owned Kerguelen Island, which is another contender for world’s most remote island.
