The South Seas is an archaic term for a region in the Pacific Ocean. We describe most of it under Oceania, but the old term is broader; it includes areas such as Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia which we include in Southeast Asia.
This article is on an extra-hierarchical region, describing a region that does not fit into the hierarchy Wikivoyage uses to organise most articles. These "extraregion" articles usually provide only basic information and links to articles in the hierarchy. This article can be expanded if the information is specific to the page; otherwise new text should generally go in the appropriate region or city article.
