vast wilderness
Endless untouched land
A vast wilderness is an extensive area of wild, uncultivated land—forests, mountains, deserts, or tundra largely untouched by human development.
The phrase emphasizes both scale and remoteness: They trekked through the vast wilderness of northern Canada.
Figuratively, it can describe any overwhelming, uncharted territory: the vast wilderness of the internet.
