When the terrain is rough, the trail is non-existent and there are no signs of human activity, it can feel very remote indeed.
It's all in the feeling. Spent a night on Speculation two or three weekends back, and I felt like I was the last person alive in the world. Glorious. Yet Saturday night on the Viking and, good as it was, it was just another bush camp. Maybe because I'd seen people that day but there was no-one around anywhere the previous trip.
