The loneliest place on earth, Nemo Point!

Mondo Tourism Updated on 2024-03-05

There is such a place on the earth, the closest human being is the Chinese space station overhead, and the closest land is the snow-covered Antarctica, which is the loneliest place on earth.

Nemo Point, the center of the South Pacific Ocean.

There is not even a single fish in the vast sea, and even the ocean currents avoid it, let alone the shipping routes.

And this place where birds don't poop is still very useful for humans.

Nemo Point is located in the heart of the South Pacific Ocean, 3,500 km from South America, 4,800 km from New Zealand, and more than 2,688 km from its nearest offshore islands.

This place with a special geographical location is not destined to be an ordinary place.

Nemo Point is located in the middle of the South Pacific gyre, which is inaccessible to ocean currents.

Nutrients carried by external seawater cannot enter.

Antarctica, the nearest state, is also starved of organic matter and covered with snow and ice, so there is no organic matter for marine life to live in Nemo Point, so there are no fish here, because they can't swim out because they starve to death.

But for intelligent humans, this place can be of great use.

As you may have thought, isn't this a natural place to dispose of garbage?

True, this area has long been targeted by the United States and Soviet space agencies, and more than 260 spacecraft wreckage from the 70s of the last century to the present day have been dumped here, as well as the radioactive wreckage and harmful materials of nuclear-powered satellites.

These pollutants do not escape, so you can only stay in this place in silence, which is indeed an ideal place.

More space junk will fall here in the future, including the wreckage of the International Space Station, which will be decommissioned in 2031.

Is there anything weird about this place?

There must be. In 1997, scientists detected a mysterious sound in the waters near Nemo Point, which exceeded the sound limit of the southern whale, the largest creature in the ocean.

But there's nothing here, is it a natural phenomenon or is it unknown?

Biological scientists have searched for the cause, but they still haven't been able to find the cause.

The unknown has cast another layer of mysterious sand over this area.

But no matter how mysterious it is, no one wants to study it, because the cost of gas is ridiculously high.
