Point Nemo, the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, is in which ocean?

Point Nemo, the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, is in the Pacific Ocean.

More precisely, Point Nemo lies in the South Pacific and marks the point in the world’s oceans farthest from any land. Its exact coordinates vary slightly depending on which shoreline measurements are used, but the location is roughly equidistant from three nearby land points: Ducie Island, Motu Nui near Easter Island, and Maher Island off Antarctica.

Each of those points is about 2,688 kilometres away, making Point Nemo extraordinarily remote. The name refers to Captain Nemo from Jules Verne’s novels, and the site is sometimes described as the “longest swim” point: a person there would be farther from land than anywhere else at sea.

A common mix-up is choosing the Southern Ocean because Antarctica forms one of the nearest land directions. However, Point Nemo is north of Antarctica and is classified as part of the South Pacific Ocean. Its remoteness also means that astronauts on the International Space Station have sometimes been closer to people than anyone at sea level near Point Nemo.
