Point Nemo (and related points) is also interesting:
> […] The oceanic pole of inaccessibility, also known as Point Nemo, is located at roughly 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W[21] and is the place in the ocean that is farthest from land. It represents the solution to the "longest swim" problem.[22] […]
An interesting article. It mentions that "breeding dogs are no longer allowed on the island". I presume this is to avoid a feral population of dogs becoming established. However, I'm unaware that dogs pose particular threats to native wildlife, unlike cats.
Gaah! Whose bright idea was it to take an article and turn it into a scrolling video game? An interesting writeup, but what an insanely annoying way to present it.
