IPTC Location Question

I tried posting this over at alt.journalism.photo but no one seems to
be answering...

So, here's a quick meta-information question: When you have a photo
taken in the middle of nowhere, be it desert or ocean or even in a
plane or a boat in international air/water/whatever, how do you handle
the IPTC location fields? Like, what do you put down as 'city' if
you're flying over a lake? I want to put 'unknown' but on the system
that I'm
using, that's the same result as if the IPTC information is missing; I
want something that says unknown but also implies that the information
is complete.

Any Ideas?
Thanks.
