Tierra del Fuego! (Thanks for the hint, this one was helping I guess. I don't want to celebrate too early).

You got it.. Tierra del Fuego is one of the most remote places on Earth, only 600 miles from Antartica at its southernmost point. It is shared between Argentina and Chile and is seperted from the mainland continent by the straights of Magellan. It is very desolate, and sparsely populated.

No, but you are on the right track (in looking for a summit). Keep in mind, that the earth is not a perfectly geometric sphere.

Nope, the point farthest from the core is in fact a mountain's top. Mount Everests top is the highest above sea level, yet not the furthest from the earth's core. The Mountain we are talking of is not located in Asia.

The summit of Chimborazo, Ecuador?
(Answer from Wikipedia. All I knew about Chimborazo before was that it was a volcano.)

These Spanish cities are not in Spain but on the African continent.

The capital of the place named after the place where the Collossus was placed.

No, not quite as complex. Rhodes is indeed the place where the collossus was placed. I'm not sure if indeed the name Rhodesia is originally derived from Rhodes. Here is a hint that may help figuring out the name of that place whose capital is the answer: "What is Rhode s"?

Are you perhaps referring to the US state of Rhode Island? If so, then its capital is Providence.

This island was the first point of land, outside Antarctica, to see sunrise on January 1, 2000. Give the island name and the country it is located in.
