El Punto Nemo: el cementerio espacial del fin del mundo y los otros puntos de la inaccesibilidad

The sector of the Pacific Ocean chosen to become a graveyard for satellites and space missions represents the point farthest from continental landmasses. The center of this zone is called Point Nemo and is the most remote point on the planet. Geographers define these remote places as points of inaccessibility, calculated as the center of a circle drawn within an area of ​​interest without encountering a coastline. In the case of the Pacific Ocean, this is determined in relation to the position of an atoll in the Pitcairn Islands, Easter Island, and Maher Island in Antarctica. At first, it might seem like a whim for cartographers. However, finding these points of inaccessibility has presented more than just a challenge. In this video, we'll see where the eight main poles of inaccessibility are located. In some cases, they are not exotic at all, as they are located next to inhabited areas, while others have inestimable value in sectors as diverse as space research or commerce. And one of them hasn't even been reached yet. #pointnemo #geography #maps 00:00 Intro 01:12 Point Nemo, the space graveyard 03:50 The Inaccessible Point of Asia 05:07 The Americas, Australia, and Asia 06:15 The Arctic and Antarctic Poles
