Point Nemo: The Ocean's Farthest Point Where Space Comes Close

Point Nemo, the South Pacific's oceanic pole of inaccessibility, lies about 2,688 km from the nearest land, making it the most remote ocean spot; when the ISS passes overhead at ~400 km, the station's crew are often the closest humans to Nemo, and the area also serves as a disposal zone for deorbiting spacecraft, including Mir in 2001 and the planned 2030 end-of-life for the ISS.
