Ever notice, when Villains have a "Secret Island Base" its almost always in the Pacific Ocean?
Or even when the good guys have one as well. I think Blackhawk Island and Cobra Island are the only 2 that arent, off the top of my head. |

It's a bigger ocean with more supposedly uncharted islands. The South Atlantic is sparse when it comes to islands, I think. Most the Atlantic's islands are in the Caribbean, near the north pole or the coasts of Northern Europe. (There's some seas vs ocean semantics there).

Plus the Pacific has more active volcanos. I’m not saying a secret island lair HAS to be in a dormant volcano but find me art work of one that isn’t. Plus the Atlantic is right in the middle of NATO while the Pacific is not in between the western super powers. The Carribian was well charted and other than the Azores, The Faroe Islands is about all that there are aside from those dotting the American and Canadian coast, also well charted. Most others are in the uninhabitable North West passage/North Shore of Canada or the Antarctic Shore.
