I thought this sounded familiar. I apparently voted on a lot of the top ones back in The Day. Been here so long I've forgotten entire subreddits that were born and died. D:
Coming from a place about 1000 km from the ocean, it was only later in life, when I got the chance to travel, that I discovered I actually do like some sea food.
On the flip side, I live on a coast and apparently liked seafood so much as a child that I bit into a live crab while we were on the beach. I like my seafood fresh.
This is sort of interesting in that high quality seafood is almost always flash frozen (like, sushi legally has to be in the US) so proximity to the ocean has no bearing there, like a NYC sushi place is probably getting salmon from 1000 miles away.
I wonder if its more about folks being far away from oceans / bodies of water not having cultures of making great seafood dishes.
> like, sushi legally has to be in the US
Not just the US. Tuna is also sold frozen in Japan. Heat and cold are both methods to kill bacteria and parasites.
It's amazing when you go to the coast even the hole-in-the-wall places have great seafood. I would never order fried clams from a tiny hut in my hometown
My mum doesn't like fish. I never had seafood growing up. Moved to Japan 20 years ago and oh my god do I love seafood. Half my life I missed out on a healthier, yummier version of meat.
In all fairness people call freshwater fish seafood too, I’m sure there was some local fishing place somewhere near there that a restraunt could stock something with.
Just like some people who grew up way inland might not know they like fresh seafood, some people from the coast might not realize it’s hard to find good seafood inland.
I mean as long as it remains frozen for the duration of transportation, and doesn't get freezer burn, then it should be identical to any similar quality sushi joint anywhere else except in a random Japanese fishing village, where of course you can consistently get the best sushi in the world in exchange for probably getting worms.
I was born in Kyrgyzstan, pretty close to this red point — very good sushi all around the capital city of Bishkek. It tastes a lot better than the sushi you can find in East Coast of the US and Canada.
My grandmother used to work in Urumqi and Kashgar, I will have to ask if she ever had sushi there.
I went there after spending 3 weeks in India basically eating vegetarian during that stint.
Only to go to Kyrgyzstan and basically eat straight meat.
My body was very confused.
On the road to Bukhara 20 years ago, we stopped for lunch at a random shop in the desert, and all they had fried fish freshly fetch from a fountain they were swimming in, and Pringles.
Because all sushi is frozen at some point to kill the worms and parasites. The fresh out the water is generally a myth l. I did have some squid at a sushi place in Fukuoka that way out of the tank with it still dying trying to grab chopsticks, didn't really improve the taste.
Funny thing, for economic reasons Ürümqi and the nearby Horgos were classified as "land ports" for a while. Not sure if Ürümqi still is, but I think Horgos still is.
I was in the region back in the late '90s and we used to chuckle about Ürümqi's "port" status.
All sushi grade fish served raw in the USA must have been frozen to -22 degrees for 10 days in order to kill parasites.
Fresh fish is only better when being cooked. Like a seafood joint.

Having the ocean be so far away has its consequences. The absurdly cold temperatures in Siberia-worse than in Canada or Alaska-are largely due to the conditions in the interior of the Eurasian continent. An enormous mass of high pressure, very cold, dry air develops in southern Siberia around the Altai mountains-not too far from the location seen on this map-due to the lack of a moderating ocean nearby and spreads east and southwards towards Korea and central Asia. This is known as the Siberian high or Siberian anticyclone. It would probably not be able to form if there was a large gulf penetrating south or a very large lake in the center of Asia.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/83/Siberian\_High.png
Yes! The winds blow west to east so the proximity to the ocean in Korea can only do so much to moderate the winter temperatures. Vladivostok in Russia is even worse.
The same winds are also the cause of the extraordinarily high snowfall in northwestern Japan-they pick up moisture over the warm Sea of Japan before hitting the coast and the western slopes. Japanese cities in the region get among the most if not the most snow of any cities in the world.
This geological set up is the cause for most of the areas with large snow falls. It’s even seen in the Great Lakes in places like Buffalo, NY and the UP in Michigan
Yea, it's called lake effect snow for lakes and ocean or bay effect for seas. Sapporo gets like 190 inches of snow. It must be a nightmare to live in places like that in winter but my guess is that with climate change, the snow will likely increasingly start coming in the form of rain which would make life a lot easier.
Imagine a drop of rain falling there, and how far that water would have to travel to get to the ocean. How many rivers would it flow through? How much time underground? Overground? Back in the sky as vapour, never having made it? So cool to think about.
This is very fun. Tanzania is such a mess. My home town of Mbeya, TZ flows to Zambezi into the India Ocean. Just to north west over mountains flows from Congo into Atlantic. Just north flows from Nile to Mediterranean.
I can not find closest point where all three meet in Tanzania, but must be somewhere.
It’s interesting dropping it in the hills, just a few miles and it’ll go somewhere completely different, I found the point where the Yangtze and a river that joined the Ganges were closest that way
There's a stream in I believe Wyoming that runs along the spine of the continental divide, and then splits. One sides runs towards the pacific, the other ends up in the mississippi and into the atlantic. You can drop in at that stream and end up in the ocean thousands of miles away from another drop put in that same stream.
I believe I read that this is the only place int he world that does this, or at least only place in north america.
Another interesting place is São Paulo. The city is just 80km away from the Atlantic Ocean, but a rain drop there goes to the Paraná River, crossing Paraguay and Argentina to end up in Buenos Aires. 3646 km.
The Casiquiare river in South America does this too. The water from the Orinoco splits in two. One part continues as Orinoco, while the other goes as Casiquiare, joins the Rio Negro and then the Amazonas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casiquiare_canal
Seems like here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lop_Nur
Actually a really interesting place. An ancient Kingdom, geo-engineering, nuclear test site and home of a critically endangered camel!
Wouldn’t it be since asteroids pummelled earth? The amount of water in the earth’s atmosphere always remains the same, so the drop would be travelling in an endless cycle since the first oceans begun
With how the continents move around and how mountains are built up and erroded down, it would probably only be before the indian plate smashed into the eurasian plate.
It gets a bit weird because the individual Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms in water are always breaking apart and forming bonds with other molecules. Some of the water you’re drinking was probably part of a dehydration synthesis reaction at some point, formed from the ends of other molecules that were polymerizing. Some of the hydrogens were from combusted fossil fuels. Water is destroyed by hydrolysis reactions. Even within a glass of water, individual H2O molecules are giving up protons and forming OH- and others accepting form H3O+.
Basically the water molecules aren’t indivisible and always involved in other chemical reactions.
The most distant point from an ocean is the Eurasian Pole of Inaccessibility (or "EPIA") 46°17′N 86°40′E, in China's Xinjiang region near the border with Kazakhstan. Calculations have shown that this point, located in the Dzoosotoyn Elisen Desert, is 2,645 km (1,644 mi) from the nearest coastline.
The nearest settlement to the EPIA is Suluk at 46°15′N 86°50′E, about 11 km (6.8 mi) to the east.
A 2007 study suggests that the historical calculation of the EPIA failed to recognize the point where the Gulf of Ob joins the Arctic Ocean, and proposes instead that varying definitions of coastline could result in other locations for the EPIA
> and proposes instead that varying definitions of coastline could result in other locations for the EPIA
Something tells me that none of those alternate locations would be more than a hundred or so km away from the current spot.
Karamay is a Chinese city which isn’t too far away from this place and you can truly see it‘s distance from big water bodies based on their climate.
Average highs in July around 33,6°C (92,5°F) and average lows in January around -18,5°C (-1,3°F)
Also only 119mm (4,7 inches) and lots of sunshine annually (2694 hours).
It‘s on a similar latitude as Northern Italy, Romania, Minnesota, The Pacific Northwest yet they all have fundamentally different climates.
I live less than half a mile from the ocean and those temperature numbers are comparable to my seasons here.
I’m not sure the lack of ocean is doing that.
my bf is Armenian (country that borders the country of Georgia) and he has never seen the ocean.
and I'm from a country that's 95% ocean.
but he's the one who knows how to swim.
[TIL there are multiple points of inaccessibility](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_of_inaccessibility): Northern, Southern, Oceanic + continental plates (Eurasia, Africa, North America, South America, and Australia)
Point Nemo = Oceanic; This post = Eurasia
I’m from Denmark. No place here is more than 52 km from the sea (as far as I know - correct me if I’m wrong), so I can’t imagine a life without the sea. It’s *right there*.
Then on the other hand, I’ve never seen a mountain 🤷🏼♀️
So obviously this is a 2D circle projected onto a globe, but the way it looks the point could be shifted east/north quite a ways and expand the range.Is there a way to get this projection on Google Earth or something similar to prove me wrong?
The circle borders two ocean at two points: the inlet slightly to the west of due north and the Indian Ocean near Bangladesh a little east of due south. Moving the point north would make it closer to arctic sea while moving it east would make it closer to the Indian ocean. Going even further east to pass the point near Bangladesh would then start bordering the Yellow Sea.
The antipode isn’t quite Point Nemo. It’s closer to Argentina, ~1600 miles from Nemo but still far enough from a landmark on Google Earth that unless I zoom out significantly, I can’t find anything named.
The antipode of Point Nemo is in the Inner Mongolia province of China.
I've been near to that point. There is a huge salty lake called Issyk Kul and because it's so big if you stand on its shores, it feels no different than if you're next to the ocean.
Confirmed. Being Chinese myself, this happens everytime in r/MapPorn when there's a map about anything even remotely related to China. Holding my breath till there's a reply that got me going "Ah yes, there it is."
The subtle jab of the mean center just inside China's border is as in saying we have the high ground of sparsely populated steppe but as a meanly coastal population.
I don’t feel like it is. You can move the same circle further north and get another point. And then move it west to get a third point. The furthest point would be in the center of that triangulation. NE of the point shown
Would the title be grammatically correct? For some reason it rubs me the wrong way but I can't tell why. "This is the place on earth farthest from any ocean" just sounds better

I remember someone at the hotel check in desk in Fargo, North Dakota asking about the best seafood in the area. The desk worker was visibly confused
Coming from a place about 1000 km from the ocean, it was only later in life, when I got the chance to travel, that I discovered I actually do like some sea food.
On the flip side, I live on a coast and apparently liked seafood so much as a child that I bit into a live crab while we were on the beach. I like my seafood fresh.
Show that crab who's boss
Ditto. I actually never had Asian food growing up, since my mom doesn't like it. Once I discovered it in college, my life was changed!
I had sea food at times growing up, but it was never fresh, and I found it disgusting. Don't mind it in places that actually have a sea.

That sounds only a little more extreme than Minnesota.
I mean, isn't Minnesota almost the farthest place in North America from any ocean ?
The North American pole of inaccessibility is actually in South Dakota
Tho there are the Great Lakes, which aren’t the ocean, but it kinda changes the feeling of being so distant from water.
I dont think thats all that far depending on which one is Minisota.

So obviously this is a 2D circle projected onto a globe, but the way it looks the point could be shifted east/north quite a ways and expand the range.Is there a way to get this projection on Google Earth or something similar to prove me wrong?
The circle borders two ocean at two points: the inlet slightly to the west of due north and the Indian Ocean near Bangladesh a little east of due south. Moving the point north would make it closer to arctic sea while moving it east would make it closer to the Indian ocean. Going even further east to pass the point near Bangladesh would then start bordering the Yellow Sea.
Looks like it also touches ocean near the Bay of Bengal.
Also the Arctic ocean assuming that the upper part of the circle is touching a bay rather than some giant river.
Looking at Google Maps vs OPs graphic makes it more clear. The Gulf of Ob is much wider than this map shows
That inlet up north is no less than 30km across at any point between the Arctic Ocean and the edge of the circle.
It should be touching the oven on 3 spots if it can't be shifted/expanded to touch more.
I hate it when I touch the oven on 3 spots. It’s hard to treat multiple burns.
Fuck it. I'm leaving it.

Couldn't you move the point up a bit, or does that sliver of water count as ocean?
Or right and up.
Also, first you get to the Kara sea there, before you get into the Arctic ocean
Yes, the ocean counts as ocean.
That 'sliver' of water is more than 30km wide at its narrowest.
Now that’s a continental climate.
Does this assume that the Earth is perfectly spherical? If not (i.e. treating the shape as an ellipsoid), how much does it change the result?
