There are many extremely interesting geographical regions on Earth. Some of them are known for having the most beautiful natural landscapes that humanity can see.
Nemo Point, “The most remote place on Earth!” Therefore, it is as mysterious as it is interesting. Because no human has ever been to the farthest place on Earth!
1- Nemo Point is located in the south of the Pacific Ocean
Nemo Point is exactly 2,688 kilometers away from the nearest piece of land to it!
It is located at the coordinates of 48°52.6′ South and 123°23.6′ West
On the other hand, Nemo Point is also equidistant from three different islands located in 3 different directions
Duice Island in the north direction, Motu Nui island in the northeast direction and Maher Island in the south direction
2- People in space are closer to Point Nemo than people on Earth!
It sounds extremely interesting, but it’s the truth! The distance between the International Space Station and the Nemo Point Decays to 415 kilometers when the station is at a certain point.
3- It is considered the “center of inaccessibility
Although the Nemo Point is the most remote place on Earth, it is considered the geographical center of the inaccessibility zone.
4- it was discovered in 1992 by the Croatian engineer Hrvoje Lukatela
However, this discovery was a little different from the discoveries that we know about in the traditional sense. Because Lukatela has never been to Point Nemo.
The Croatian engineer started from theoretical ideas that the Earth is a center of inaccessibility and, using various software and computer simulations, managed to determine the coordinates of the Nemo Point.
5- The Nemo Point takes its name from the fictional character Captain Nemo, created by the French writer Jules Verne
In other words, Captain Nemo, who is featured in the famous work of the French author called “20,000 Leagues Under the Seas”, is also the namesake of Nemo Point!
6- Almost no living thing lives at Nemo Point
Located in the center of nothingness, Nemo Point does not have any island or piece of land. So it is not possible for land creatures to live at Nemo Point.
The sea pressure at Nemo Point is extremely high. However, the water temperature in the region is low enough to force even the most hardy sea creatures
