A man has traveled to the most remote place on the planet where the closest human habitation is above the atmosphere in the International Space Station.

The location is so far away from any other people, that the ones nearest to a brave explorer who journeyed there are up in space.

Chris Brown led a team on an expedition boat to the loneliest spot on the planet.

Known as Point Nemo, it is an area in the South Pacific Ocean that is the farthest from land in every direction.

The three closest spots of land that are closest to Point Nemo are all roughly 1,670 miles away.

Brown decided to visit the area for himself, documenting the journey on YouTube.

In the video description, it explained that the footage covered 'the planning phases of the expedition, what dangers we faced and how the difficulties of traversing the storms and hurricanes which plague the Southern Pacific Ocean were overcome'.

Arriving at Point Nemo, Chris, along with his team, Mika and Adam, jumped into the water for the 'most remote swim ever recorded'.

So remote, in fact, that the humans closest to them were the ones in orbit in the International Space Station.

However, they encountered a scary moment when an albatross, with 'a wingspan of more than 3 meters and a 15 cm hooked and serrated beak' attacked one of the crew while they swam in the ocean. Luckily, no one was hurt!

Viewers of the footage were 'in awe' by the bravery of the expedition, with many taking to the YouTube comment section to share their reactions.

One user wrote: “It's awe-inspiring to think that you made it to the most remote place on Earth, surrounded by nothing but the vast expanse of the ocean. Your journey showcases not only your determination and adventurous spirit but also highlights the sheer beauty and isolation of our planet.”

Another said: “This is the definition of an adventure!! Deserves millions of views.”

And a third added: “This has left me in awe just watching this! I’d love to know more about the albatross that were there, a very unusual discovery, especially since there is quite literally no land for thousands of miles, even then - it wouldn’t make sense for them to fly that far! Either way, the bravery is crazy, well done!”

This prompted a reply from Brown, who explained: “A lot of people ask about the birds… Basically, they are sea birds and don't need land. And they can fly 1,200km (746 miles) in one go!”
