Welcome to the Oceanic Pole of Inaccessibility, aka Point Nemo

Yesterday afternoon the fleet passed the Oceanic Pole of Inaccessibility, the most remote spot on Planet Earth where the closest land is thousands of miles away...

To have the fleet this far from land and - within miles of each other - speaks to the skill of the sailors willing every tenth of boat speed out of their IMOCA's.

Every February I sail out to point Nemo in a catamaran by myself from Buenos Aires. It's a grueling adventure that's become tradition for me. I just got back to the states today. This year I nearly capsized from a rogue wave. That God luck was on my side.

The night sky is probably amazing to look up at.

0:18 Absolutely Breathtaking scene... Sea looks like its actually painted on a surrealistic canvas of existence... Enraptured I am... Also Two birds still flying over the sea at such a remote place... Those birds are living the HIGH LIFE ✌✌✌

That night sky is worth being away from everyone

Incredible that there is a place on Earth, so remote and ice areas unclaimed!
God's speed!
Thanks for sharing!

Just imagine all the possible aircrafts/ ships and even riches that the sea bed has to be holding there— man. I’d imagine it’s deep as HELL, as well. Which is scary to think, but yet just as fascinating.

amazing footage! wonderful how we can travel the world with our eyes, through ours phones.

I know there are birds that can fly thousands of miles but it seems interesting multiple birds are seen flying quite low in two clips at this location.

Best place to fly a drone during decent flotilla sailing ;-)

Iyan ang tunay na kalagitnaan ng dagat!

The stars would be crazy from that point. Literally NO light pollution.

That's where my dad went...with my dog!!!

It is difficult to imagine what the first sailors who crossed those waters, like Magellan, must have felt.

This video leaves me wondering if there not just off shore . The birds man the birds !

Just imagine how many ships are at the bottom of the ocean around Point Nemo.

I bet there have been times where places were even more remote than Point Nemo, take Pangaea for example during the Triassic period when the early dinosaurs started to dominate the planet, I’m sure the middle of the global ocean would have been far more isolated then

Great place to build fully sustainable floating military base

😮 What about those birds? 🐦
How much did they have to fly?

[ianturpin]

Will the ISS talk to them as they pass overhead
