This is a unique place.
Want to get away from the boring work, responsibilities and all those daily chores that are so exhausted by Friday? The best places you can find. Point Nemo, named in honor of the submarine from the book of Jules Verne’s “20,000 leagues under the sea”, located 2 688 miles from the nearest shore. Here even the collectors don’t get.
Where
Physically Nemo Point equidistant from the several Islands: the sailors will have to go through 2 600 kilometres to the Pitcairn Islands in the North, motu Nui to the northeast, and Maher island to the South. Here are the exact coordinates of this place, if you happen to want to travel: 48°52.6′ s.sh. 123°23.6′ s.d.
An unexpected discovery
This point could only detect through the development of satellite technology. Point Nemo geographers opened in 1992. No sushi nearby is not observed: the traveller may perhaps roughly compare their coordinates with the coordinates of the point — but there is only the limitless ocean.
Author
Like all discoveries of modern times, equidistant from any land point not found the brave pioneers, but a regular engineer. Canadian mathematician of Horhe Locatel created a special program to calculate the exact location of the Point Nemo.
Hello from space
In fact, point Nemo is so far from earth that is closer will get to space. This is no joke and no exaggeration: the only people in the area fly over the traveler to the ISS at a height of 416 kilometers.
Great dump
The remoteness from civilization at the hand of modern society. In particular, the Russian, European and Japanese space agencies have long used point Nemo as a dumping ground because it is the only place on the planet with the least number of human inhabitants (there are exactly 0) and it is located away from busy shipping routes. Presumably, about 100 decommissioned spacecraft are buried at the underwater cemetery.
R’lyeh
In 1997, oceanographers have recorded a strange and very loud noise coming from the depths to the East of this mysterious point. And all anything, here only the greatest mystic of the twentieth century, HP Lovecraft, accidentally placed my R’lyeh approximately the same coordinates. If you Wake up Cthulhu, awakened by another fallen space probe? It is quite possible.
