Point Nemo,
From series “The Most Inaccessible Spots of the Planet”
The Pacific is one of the most striking and interesting parts of the world. It is the so-called Point Nemo, the water poles. The point Nemo lies 2 688 km from the mainland and was named in honor of the acting person of the well-known novel of Jules Verne. The oceanic pole is often referred to as the 'pole of inaccessibility'. This geographic term refers to the different positions on the earth, which are extremely complicated to achieve due to the great distance of transport routes.
Many scientists think that if you are at the specific time of the day in Point Nemo and is attentive to the sky, you can see the space station. It is that the distance from the orbit of the space station to Point Nemo is optimal and forms only about 400 km. For several years, the oceanic pole of inaccessibility has been the important point of the sailing regattas. Also many ordinary travelers strive to pass this sign of the world wide ocean.
