Point Nemo: the Oceanic Pole of Inaccessibility AKA the world's farthest place from land!

Say you fall overboard in the middle of the ocean. Whoops. Your best chance to survive is to find the closest land. But there’s one spot where there is no single closest land, a location in the middle of the ocean that is the farthest you can get from land. That’s called Point Nemo, the precise spot in the middle of the Pacific that is as far away as possible from land in any direction. It’s equally as far from the closest 3 spots of land, and the absolutely worst place to fall overboard.

Land in any direction is just under 1700 miles (2700 km) away here. There’s nothing there. Its coordinates are calculated mathematically, and it’s possible no one had ever been there until the Volvo ocean race passed by in 2018 (they found plastic unfortunately).

Despite being totally invisible, Point Nemo has special qualities:
--When the International Space Station goes by, astronauts are closer to it than humans on earth.
--It’s ground zero for decommissioned space junk, bc, well, it’s least likely to hit anyone. Hundreds of satellites, rockets, and space stations from dozens of countries sit at the bottom around Point Nemo.
--It’s also surprisingly lifeless, bc it’s at the center of a giant whirl of ocean currents that not much can get to (called the South Pacific Gyre).
--There’s also THE BLOOP, a weird loud low sound in the water that microphones picked up in the late 90s. No one knew what it was for a while, but now the guess is that it’s the sound of giant icebergs breaking off from Antarctic glaciers.

Or maybe something else hitched a ride on one of those satellites…?
