What's your antipod?

My antipode is south of Madagascar about the same latitude as Cape Town.

So first we need your definition of antipode (the correct spelling given by Dave Lindell.)
It looks like Dave and you are using the following;
"The antipodes of any place on Earth is the point on the Earth's surface which is diametrically opposite to it. Two points that are antipodal to each other are connected by a straight line running through the centre of the Earth. An antipodal point it is often called an antipode."

Some very interesting facts at this site.

New Zealand may hit Portugal or Spain. The southern tip of Chile gets Mongolia. A good part of South America hits Asia. Other than that, land and water are largely anitpodal.

So me takes the negative value of latitude and the supplementary value of longitude.
Does make one wonder about the China myth. I remember it from a lot of cartoons.

I end up in the Indian Ocean about 375 km on a azimuth heading of 75 from Ì?le de l'Est in the Indian Ocean

Natester, I have no idea what you are digging for but although some monuments are deep most are not that deep. 😉

The contiguous 48 all fall in the Indian Ocean. Hawaii will hit land, however, in Africa. The far north end of Alaska, near Prudhoe Bay, will hit the Antarctic ice.

Yup - pretty much Campon in Northern Spain for me.

It would be in the Bay of Biscay if I still lived down South

Other than a weird icon for your here point, the there is rather telling.
I am SW of Australia by 75 miles or so.

I'm in the Bay, Jim!

Sorry about the missing E.
I as typing from my phone...
Maybe someday i can visit my antipode.

You are a hoot, Nate.

Nate your phone is either too small or your fingers are too big. I suspect the latter. 😉

I do, the Instamatic 110's. If I had a lagoon like that in front of my beach house me and SWMBO would snorkel all day. Although I have yet to visit Australia the Atlantic tides along the Central part of Fl. (New Smyrna Beach) cause "sloughs" which are fun to snorkel in if the water is clear, and calm enough. You won't see any spectacular colors but you will see lot's of "shore fish" mullet, pompano, and especially Sand sharks. Every once and a while you may see a black tip, thresher or bull shark. Bull sharks will eat anything! so it's best to vacate their current real estate. 😎

hahaha I am in ecuador.

Well ours is China
EVERYONE knows:
the best soil will grow carrots that roots go right through to China
Careless post driving will see it end lob up in China

And there's various nefarious responses that don't get mentioned in civilised circles.

I hate to be the one to tell you how it is that you are sadly mistaken. Check out the link provided a couple of places above. Put the bassackwards guy in the left side on Tasmania. You will discover on the right that his head is sticking out of the North Atlantic Ocean about midway between Portugal and Newfoundland.

If it's any consolation to you I end up in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Throughout my lifetime I have heard thousands of times about digging a hole to China........from here.

You can still (try to) dig a hole to China; it just won't be your Antipodal...

:smarty: 😎 :manhole: :earth:

Oh. I stand corrected :laughing:
We must have grown up in an era where "all holes lead to China".

Now my in depth investigations for that elusive, buried, long lost reference rod may well see ingress from the North Atlantic.
