You too must be thinking many times that you should go away from the hustle and bustle of life to a place where there is peace. Where no one knows you far and wide and there is only peace and tranquility. However, wherever you go, there is always a colony of people. Today we will tell you about one such place. Where no one really lives or rather no one has arrived.
We all have an idea of the distance from Earth to space and how much time it takes to reach there. However, you may not know about the place from where the distance between Earth and space reduces significantly. From here it is more difficult to reach places near the earth and easier to reach space.
Only 250 miles of space remains from here
The place we are talking about is – Point Nemo. From here, the International Space Station and the astronauts living on it remain just 250 miles away. The nearest dry place on earth is a small island named Ducie. Consider that Ducey Island is more than 1600 miles away from here, but space remains only 250 miles away. If one moves upwards faster than one can reach the nearest part of the Earth from Point Nemo, one can reach space. The silence here is so terrible that even the sound of breaking rocks gives shivers to the soul.

Hundreds of spacecraft are buried here
According to the report of LadBible, more than 260 spacecraft have been buried at this place between 1971 and 2016. It is also called the graveyard of spacecraft. This place was named after Captain Nemo. This place was discovered by a survey engineer, Hrvoje Lukatela. This most isolated place in the Pacific Ocean is considered to be the most remote area on earth. Whenever there is any fault in any spacecraft or station, it is brought here and dumped.
