Best Answer

Depending on where you start, the Antarctic can be either close or far away.

The Antarctic lies south of the Antarctic Circle -- 66° 33' 39" S -- so for travel originating in the Southern Hemisphere it is closer than for travel originating in the northern hemisphere.

Remote-ness can also be defined by accessibility. There is no commercial air service or any hospitality operations anywhere on Antarctica, so in that sense, it is the most remote location on Earth.
