 </span></blockquote>so after trial & error on a truly massive scale<br/>
i believe i may at least have found the farthest point on earth from <br/>
the sea<br/>
tho the farthest point on earth from land remains anyones guess<br/>
& will surely be far more difficult to find than this<br/>
<br/>
for unless i have missed something<br/>
there appears to be an unbeatable voronoi point or window<br/>
in the upper ulungur valley of northeastern sinkiang<br/>
at approximately north lat 46d03m by east long 89d09m<br/>
where the sea lies at least 1520 miles away in every direction<br/>
<br/>
as the great circle crow flies from there<br/>
the closest points of maritime access are<br/>
the nadym estuary on the gulf of ob in siberia to the nnw<br/>
& the hai & jiyun estuaries on the bohai wan to the ene<br/>
& the ganges & jumna estuaries in bangladesh to the sse<br/>
<br/>
& because the salt water penetrations are so highly variable<br/>
especially in the last mentioned cases<br/>
which are subject to extreme seasonal fluctuations<br/>
it is not likely that a more exactly equidistant location can be <br/>
determined within this general target area<br/>
<br/>
in fact just calling it to the nearest whole degree<br/>
at n46 x e89 <br/>
might be more honest<br/>
<br/>
determining the farthest point on earth from land tho<br/>
will probably require far more accuracy than this<br/>
as well as far more & far better data<br/>
not to mention far more patience</div>
