The Feb 2001 issue of Astronomy Now, a British astro mag, they have a small article about Mir, including a diagram of where it is supposed reenter and impact the ocean southeast of New Zealand. This is obviously where they would like Mir to fall, but they describe the problem of predicting exactly where it could come down, citing problems with Mir's navigational system and of variations in Earth's atmosphere. The map shows it on a descending orbit, crossong the southeast coast of Australia midway between Sidney and Tasmania and just crossing the small island off the south coast of New Zealand's South Island. Condisering publishing deadlines, this is probably only an approximation of where Mir will come down.
