Point Nemo is known as the most remote place on Earth. Located in the South Pacific Ocean, it is so isolated that the closest land is the Pitcairn Islands, a staggering 2,688 kilometers away. Even more astonishing, the nearest humans are astronauts aboard the International Space Station, 408 kilometers above in low Earth orbit. This vast emptiness makes Point Nemo a true marvel of remoteness.

The adventurous mission began from Puerto Montt in Chile, with the team setting sail westward toward the exact coordinates of Point Nemo. Despite many sailors having navigated near this remote location, no expedition had previously ventured to the precise spot since Canadian-Russian engineer Hrvoje Lukatela first identified it in 1992.

Reaching Point Nemo was no small feat. The expedition team faced numerous challenges navigating the vast and desolate waters of the South Pacific. The isolation of the area meant there were no landmarks to guide them, making their precise navigation and arrival at the coordinates an impressive achievement.
