Chris Brown, a 61-year-old tech entrepreneur from Harrogate, North Yorkshire, becomes the first person to reach Point Nemo.

• Point Nemo, situated in the South Pacific Ocean, is the farthest point from any landmass on Earth.
• Brown's accomplishment is part of his larger ambition to visit all eight of the Earth's poles of inaccessibility.
• Point Nemo is 2,688 kilometers (1,670 miles) away from the nearest landmasses.
• The spot is known for treacherous seas and unpredictable weather, posing logistical challenges for reaching it.
• Point Nemo was first identified in 1992 and remains a symbol of extreme remoteness and isolation.
