Lost in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, Point Nemo is much more than just a geographical landmark. Located nearly 2,700 kilometres from the nearest land, this place is the pole of oceanic inaccessibility, the furthest point from any land surface. Fascinating and mysterious, it intrigues scientists and adventure-seekers alike. What is Point Nemo? Discovered in 1992 by the Canadian-Croatian

In the vast expanse of our blue planet, a significant portion remains an enigmatic frontier, barely touched by human presence. As we descend beyond the first 200 meters (656 feet) of the ocean’s surface, we enter a realm not just of profound mystery, but also of untold scientific potential—the deep seabed. This article takes you on a journey into the depths of our Earth’s oceans, exploring f

The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean about 200 kilometres (124 mi) east of the Mariana Islands and it is the deepest oceanic trench on Earth. It is crescent-shaped and measures about 2,550 km (1,580 mi) in length and 69 km (43 mi) in width. The maximum known depth is 10,984 metres (36,037 ft) (± 25 metres [82 ft]) (6.825 miles) at the southern end o

Brits become first to swim in waters so isolated astronauts were the closest humans to them Explorer Chris Brown, 62, and his 32-year-old son Mika spent five years thinking about their dip We all enjoy a bit of peace and quiet from time to time, but heading to a place which is so isolated from human civilisation that astronauts are the closest people to you might be a stretch too far. But a

The Arctic Ocean is known for its extreme temperatures and icy landscapes, but in the dead of winter, a surprising phenomenon occurs. Blooming flowers can be found on the ocean’s surface, but these are not your typical garden-variety flowers. Instead, they are known as frost flowers, and they are a natural wonder of the Arctic. Frost flowers are delicate and intricate structures that form

There is no shortage of special effects on our digital screens these days, but believe it or not, there are equally peculiar phenomenons in nature that seem like work of technology rather than Mother Nature. Isle of Rhe in France is one such destination which is known for being romantic, as well as bizarre. A tiny island measuring just 19 miles long and three miles wide, Isle of Rhe is located

For the first time ever, we are able to observe the formation of an “ice finger of death” through some breathtaking footage. These days it’s rare to uncover a phenomenon completely new to science, one that expands our knowledge of the world in unique and wondrous ways. But just as it happened in the past few years with uncontacted tribes, unseen caves, and sea beasts, the forming of Antar
