There is a place called Null Island.

It exists at exactly 0°N, 0°E — where the prime meridian meets the equator, in open ocean. No land nor inhabitants. Water as deep as the eye can see, and a weather buoy that measures data nobody asks about.

Null Island is where mapping systems send corrupted data. When coordinates are missing or broken, the system defaults to 0,0. Thousands of ghost ships accumulate in this place. Phantom planes. People who have lost their location.

They all end up in the same place. 0,0.

You are at 0,0, a valid position, it doesn't count as lost. It has a name. Others have been here. On this place, called Null Island.
