Point Nemo: Farthest From Land in the Ocean

In the South Pacific, one point lies about 2,688 km from the nearest land. It is known as Point Nemo. Remote parts of this ocean are also chosen for controlled reentries of large spacecraft, so debris falls far from populated areas. That does not mean every spacecraft is aimed at Point Nemo’s exact coordinates.
