There are a number of 'Poles of inaccessibility' (PIA) similar to Point Nemo.

The Eurasian PIA is at 44.29°N 82.19°E in Northwestern China near the Kazakhstan border and ~1,560 miles from the nearest coastline.

The North American PIA is on the Pine Ridge Reservation in southwest South Dakota at 43.36°N 101.97°W. It is about 7 miles north of the town of Allen, SD and 1,030 miles from the nearest coastline.

The South American PIA is in Brazil at 14.05°S 56.85°W, near Arenápolis, Mato Grosso, and is 935 miles from the nearest coastline.

The African PIA is at 5.65°N 26.17°E, 1,127 miles from the coast, near the town of Obo in the Central African Republic and close to the country's tripoint with South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The Australian PIA is located either at 23.17°S 132.27°E[1] or at 23°2′S 132°10′E, 570 miles from the nearest coastline, approximately 100 miles west-northwest of Alice Springs. The nearest town is Papunya, Northern Territory, about 19 miles to the southwest of both locations.
