Null Island is great of course, but when it comes to non-existent "places" in the ocean I prefer Point Nemo https://en.osm.town/@opencage/110207798392328927 ht

  But Nemo does exist, it's just not actually very intersting since it's notable only in this abstract sense. Similarly when the Americans build a base at the geographic South Pole (Amundsen-Scott base) the Russians built one at the pole of inaccessibility - the place furthest from the sea, which is not interesting in the same way as the actual South Pole, but still a desolate horrible place to be, grossly unsuited to human habitation. Unlike Amundsen-Scott, I believe that Russian base is no longer permanently inhabited 'cos it turns out that's very expensive and the Russians don't have the same budget for such things.
