Remote Oceania

Remote Oceania

Remote Oceania is the part of Oceania comprising Polynesia, Micronesia and island Melanesia southeast of the Solomon Islands, including islands such as Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa. The other part of Oceania is Near Oceania. This division was invented in 1973 by linguists. Linguists and scientists now prefer to use it instead of the traditional classification of Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia.
