"Point Nemo: The Final Resting Place for the ISS and Satellites"

TL;DR
Point Nemo, also known as the "loneliest place on earth," is a remote location in the Pacific Ocean where retired spacecraft, including the International Space Station (ISS), are sent to be sunk. With the increasing risk of collisions in space due to the growing amount of space debris, sinking spacecraft into the ocean has become a safer alternative. Point Nemo's remoteness and uninterrupted stretch of ocean make it an ideal site for this purpose. However, concerns about ocean pollution and the potential environmental impact of sinking metal debris remain.
