When I was a kid,Nan had an atlas with this in and it always freaked me out.It was just so BIG...and empty.
To find it for yourself,go on Google Earth and search for Pitcairn Island.When you've got it,zoom out until you just have about the poles touching the top and bottom of the page.
And now imagine you're on a raft bobbing about somewhere in there and how any one is going to ever find you... in a place where a frigging ISLAND is just a dot and a 30,000 foot trench is just a little black line. And then think of all the the weird and wonderful creatures that might be occupying that space with you.
Eep.
