remote regions
Far-flung areas
Remote regions are areas far from population centers and difficult to access—places where infrastructure is sparse and human settlement is thin.
The phrase typically describes wilderness, frontier territories, or isolated communities: Supplies had to be airlifted to remote regions of Alaska.
Remote regions often implies both physical distance and a sense of being cut off from modern conveniences.
