We come across various news of lesser-known places. But do you know where is the loneliest place on our Earth? If you think that it is a jungle or a desert then you are wrong. It is a part of the ocean. This place is so remote that the closest place to have human habitat is the International Space Station. This specific place we are talking about today is known as the loneliest place on earth. This place is so isolated that only one person has ever reached here. There are more interesting facts about this place. It is said that several countries have dumped dozens of satellites here. Let us know in detail:
The place we are talking about today is named Point Nemo. According to a report by BBC, Point Nemo is a location in the South Pacific Ocean between New Zealand and Chile. It is not an island or any landmass, but a part of the ocean considered the farthest from any human habitat. This place is around 2688 Km away from any land. As per the reports, it is very tough to reach this place. The most astonishing part is that this place is around 415 km away from the International Space Station. Out of curiosity, one man along with a team decided to travel to that point and explore the place.
Chris Brown, a 62-year-old man from North Yorkshire, England, decided to travel to this place along with his 30-year-old son. The man, with his crew, started the journey on a ship on March 12. He reportedly started his journey from Puerto Montt, Chile. They reached the spot on March 20. After reaching the least visited spot, Chris and his crew members decided to swim in the ocean where the temperature of the water stays around 7 degrees Celsius. Chris claimed that no one had reached this spot before him. The team returned to land on March 31.
According to the BBC, this spot is known by the name of Spacecraft Cemetery. Between 1971 and 2008, global space powers like the USA, Russia, Japan and Europe have dumped around 263 space objects here. The most recent case was a capsule rocket dumped in this place by SpaceX.
