Northern Pole of Inaccessibility

Northern Pole of Inaccessibility


Arctic Ocean, International Waters (IW)
Admittedly, not much to look at...

From wikipedia:
The Northern Pole of Inaccessibility, located at 84°03' north, 174°51' west, is the point farthest from any northern coastline, about 1100 km from the nearest coast. It is a geographic construct, not an actual physical phenomenon. It was first reached by Sir Hubert Wilkins, who flew by aircraft in 1927; in 1958 a Russian icebreaker reached this point.
