  1. That’s where you want to live if you like watching atmospheric reentry. Its the spot where its the safest to drop space junk into the ocean.

  2. It’s not the only place where the closest people are a few hundred miles up a few times in a day. It’s a sub-hobby in ham radio for some people to go to places like that, basically camp out and contact the rest of the world who keep track of that stuff.

  3. From Google: Point Nemo got its name from the Latin word “nemo,” meaning “no one,” and it references Captain Nemo, a character from Jules Verne’s novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. The name was chosen by Croatian survey engineer Hrvoje Lukatela when he identified the point in 1992 as the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, the furthest point from land.

    ..and you people better keep your distance! I likes my solitude.
