Isla Salas y Gmez is uninhabited.
 Because of these historical connections to Easter Island, Salas y Gmez might be considered part of Polynesia; if so its location would make it the easternmost landmass of Polynesia
 From Easter Island, Salas y Gmez is almost the opposite direction to the Marquesas, and the next inhabited territory "behind" Salas y Gmez would be the coast of South America
