Ever wondered what it feels like to be at the most remote spot on Earth? Two Indian Navy officers, Lieutenant Commander Dilna K and Lieutenant Commander Roopa A, can now tell you precisely that!

On Thursday night at 12:30 am IST, these officers sailed through Point Nemo, the most remote location on Earth, aboard the Indian Naval Sailing Vessel (INSV) Tarini.

But what exactly is Point Nemo?

Located in the South Pacific Ocean, Point Nemo is 2,688 km away from the nearest landmass. It is so isolated that the closest humans are often astronauts on the International Space Station. It is also designated as a ‘spaceship graveyard’, where organisations deliberately crash their old satellites and spacecraft to ensure safe disposal.
