In the southern part of the Pacific Ocean is Nemo point, the most distant place on the planet. Ships passing through it are located 2689 kilometers (1671 miles) from the nearest land. When the International Space Station flies over this area, astronauts on board the station, which are only 400 kilometers (250 miles) above their heads, are the closest to sailors.
Due to its isolation, poor fish currents, and lack of fishermen, this area has become a cemetery for old spacecraft. The Soviet/Russian Space station “Mir” found its end at the bottom of the ocean in one of the most remote corners of the world.
In 1997, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Directorate of the USA (Noaa) discovered a strange supern Wealthy sound. The sound, recorded by hydrophones placed throughout the quiet ocean, was incredibly loud, one of the loudest ever recorded underwater.
The mysterious noise was so powerful that it was captured by hydrophones located 4800 kilometers (3000 miles) apart. Some, including Oceanographer Chris Fox of Noaaa, suggested that the so-called “Bul” could be caused by marine animals.
“There are many sounds,” Fox stated in an interview with CNN. “Whales, dolphins, fish, as well as the hum of the earth.”
Nevertheless, at that time Fox also proposed a potential explanation, “Perhaps this is due to ice cracking. The sound always originates from the south. We suspect it might be ice breaking off the coast of Antarctica, in which case it would be a very loud sound.”
Noaa has previously recorded similar sounds, attributing them to the disintegration of icebergs. “Broadband sounds recorded in the summer correspond to ice shocks generated by large icebergs cracking and decomposing,”
