    This point is called Point Nemo and here is my copy-paste answer that I yanked off the net:

    The geographic coordinates of the Point Nemo are:
    s48:52:31.748 w123:23:33.069
    This point is exactly 2 688 220.580 meters (slightly more than 1 450 nautical miles) away from the following three coastline points:
    s27:12:29.304, w109:27:33.120 Ducie Island (Pitcairn Island Group, South Pacific)
    s24:40:39.360, w124:47:25.872 Motu Nui / Rapa Nui ("Easter Island", South Pacific)
    s72:57:57.024, w126:22:30.793 Maher Island / Siple Island (Antarctica)
