- biggest industries are coal mining, tourism and research --> which connects this area to the rest of the world
- Global Seed Vault --> they have a vault full of seeds incase the apocalypse happens 
- very connected in terms of the research they do and coal
- Even though it is isolated it is still quite connected but it's really cold so no one really wants to live there ]]> 2020-09-21 04:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/xzdr1qmnqjj11594/wish/762954901 Easter Island saro211 https://padlet.com/list4/xzdr1qmnqjj11594/wish/762955170 Easter island is a remote volcanic island in Polynesia which is a part of Chile and is locates 3700km west from mainland South America.

This means that it is hard to trade between countries. they are also reliant on the cape colonies. 
There is no airstrip of any kind on the main island; the only way of travelling in and out of Tristan is by boat, a six-day trip from South Africa, this makes it hard for the island to become interconnected with the world]]> 2020-09-21 04:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/xzdr1qmnqjj11594/wish/762955301 Cape York Peninsula https://padlet.com/list4/xzdr1qmnqjj11594/wish/762955521 Located at the northern tip of Australia with a population of 7,600 (consists of mostly aboriginal tribes). It is still one of the largest undeveloped places left in the world and difficult to access. There is only one way to access Cape York and that's on an unpaved road however due to flooding and poor conditions, others ways such as helicopter may be best. Mining is still the biggest industry sector in Cape York]]> 2020-09-21 04:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/xzdr1qmnqjj11594/wish/762955521 Motuo, Tibet, China https://padlet.com/list4/xzdr1qmnqjj11594/wish/762955691 Facts:
