remote region

Far-off isolated area

A remote region is an area far from population centers, difficult to access, and sparsely inhabited.

The phrase emphasizes geographic isolation rather than mere distance: Scientists established a research station in a remote region of Antarctica.

Remote regions often lack infrastructure, making travel and communication challenging.
