Join me on my ADHD rabbit chase of the day:

Point Nemo (“nemo” being Latin for “no one”) is so far away from human settlements, if standing on it, you’d be closer to people on the ISS passing overhead, than other humans on earth. It’s the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, meaning it’s the furthest place from land. The ocean floor there is 13,000 ft (2.5 miles) down, with average water temps of 45°F. It lies within the South Pacific Gyre and therefore receives little nutrient flow, making it relatively lifeless. It was discovered in 1992 by Hrvoje Lukatela, a Croatian survey engineer, and named after Captain Nemo, the designer and captain of the “Nautilus” in his favorite childhood book, ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea’. The area around it is known as ‘spacecraft cemetery’ because spacecrafts re-entering the atmosphere are directed to land there to avoid hitting civilization, and the ISS itself is scheduled to crash into Point Nemo in 2031.
