See also perhaps "Point Nemo": > The oceanic pole of inaccessibility, also known as Point Nemo, is located at roughly 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W[19] and is the place in the ocean that is farthest from land. It represents the solution to the "longest swim" problem.[20] This problem poses that there is one place in an ocean on earth where, if a person fell overboard while on a ship at sea, they would be at a point that is the longest distance to any land in any direction. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_of_inaccessibility#Oceani... * https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/nemo.html Not even many ships go by it, as there aren't really (m)any shipping lanes in those parts. More likely to be sailing ships, especially those involved with racing (who don't go through the Panama Canal): * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAOMtCzLKWE The closest other humans would probably be those in orbit on the ISS about 320-420 km up. |
