Are crossings responsible for reaching remote island groups like the Marshall Islands?

The assertion that crossings are responsible for reaching remote island groups like the Marshall Islands is evaluated by understanding the geographic and logistical factors involved in transportation to such locations.

The Marshall Islands are located in the central Pacific Ocean and consist of numerous atolls and islands, which can be quite isolated. While crossings—referring to sea or air travel—do play a role in connecting these islands to the outside world, they are not the sole factor or exclusively responsible for making such connections possible. A variety of methods such as direct flights, shipping routes, and possibly other forms of transportation are factors in how access is achieved.

In this context, it is clear that while crossings can facilitate reaching the Marshall Islands, they do not singularly account for the access to remote island groups. Connectivity often involves multiple layers of transportation and logistics rather than just crossings alone.
