Interesting Antipodes From Around The World

As a native of Long Island, New York, my antipode is in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Western Australia. The closest city to this location is Perth, which is actually closer to the antipode of Bermuda than LI proper.

I live in the UK so the closest piece of land to my antipode is the South Island of New Zealand.

Stupid!

Fun fact: Although not exact, on the antipode of Mecca, Tematagi - one can pray in every direction and still face towards Mecca

Russia is antipodal to small parts of Chile and Argentina, as well so Lake Baikal is antipodal to the straits of Magellan.

The Philippines has an antipode with Brazil and most of the antipode of the Philippines are found in three Brazilian states, Mato Grosso, Para and Rondonia

Our City of Calamba has antipode with one indigenous reservation tribe, Paresi Indigenous Land in Mato Grosso State which is demarcated by FUNAI(National Indian Foundation) and the Brazilian Government

I'm at the antipodes of Wellington

It's "An-ti-po-deez" not "antipodes"

It’s amazing how many opposites there are when playing with antipodes

It's pronounced "an-TI-puh-deez", not "an-tee-POHdz".

OK, nice - but what's the value add of it?

In the geography textbook of China it is mentioned that Wuhan, China is antipodal to Cordoba, Argentina when introducing Latin America

Say ‘anti-pode’ again 😂

It’s ‘an-tip-oh-dees’…

8 Continents of the World! Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, Australia & Pasific and Squid Game

I find it funny how Spain and New Zealand are antipodes and how part of Russia and Argentina are antipodes.

Interesting that despite its massive size, Canada has almost no antipodal points on land, and none on populated land.

Botswana and Hawaii are another example.

The nearest "antipode" to me is Canton Massachusetts, said to have been named in the erroneous belief it was antipodal to the eponymous region of China.

New Zealand (New Zealand) ❤is a country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Its capital is Wellington and its largest city is Auckland. They discovered New Zealand on December 13, 1642 [3] during a period of discovery, discovered by Abel Tasman, the Dutch traveler, on a voyage in the year 1641 AD. After that, he discovered the English James Cook and continued this successfully. One year after her

\an-TIH-puh-deez\ (BUT \AN-tee-pode\ is acceptable, even preferred, for the singular, oddly!) Also, \an-TIH-puh-dul\ , not -POH-dul

So an antipode is that, and what about the point that is on the other side but on the same latitude?

Fun fact: the antipode of the province of Formosa, Argentina is Taiwan, that was formerly named Formosa.

How about Quito, Ecuador and Singapore?

Taiwan is a country, buddy. Antipodal to Paraguay, its only diplomatic ally in South America

Hi to the residents of my antipodal - Ponta Delgada and the Azores.

A very interesting antipodal to me is the southernmost 2 to 3km of Peru is opposite China's southernmost point on Hainan Island, east of Sanya. This parcel of land is triangular with the Pacific Ocean and the Chilean border forming two sides for Peru, and the South China Sea forming the other border for China.

Perth Australia and Bermuda

Mecca and the French Pacific Atomic Testing site of Mururoa

Polar bears are antipodal to penguins, and the birds who migrate twice a year from one end of the planet to the other with the changing of the seasons are just podal.

The closest antipode to Madagascar is Hawaii. This becomes more interesting when you realise that their native people both speak Austronesian languages. Those guys knew how to travel long distance by sea way before Europeans!

Fun Fact Taiwan (formerly Formosan Republic) is exact antipode of Formosa which is a region of Argentina.

Geography is amazing

Which city has the highest population of antipodal people

I love how casual this channel is. Not in a depreciating way, but in a cozy, friendly way. It really feels like we're in a room just chatting with a friend about our mutual curiosity about geography.

In a cabinet by my dining room table, I have a rock I can point to as coming from "the point directly underneath your feet on the opposite side of the world".
I am from Auckland, NZ, and in 1996, prior to a tour of Europe by car, I had a friend attend that same table with the GPS unit from his yacht. Armed with those coordinates, when In Southern Spain, I drove to a spot in the mountains about 50 km almost due North of Gibraltar. From a roadside cutting as near as I could get without trespassing, I selected that rock.

"Furtherest"? 😊

Rottnest Island off the coast of Perth, Australia is near antipodal to Bermuda

The antipode of Haiphong, Vietnam on the far northwest shore of the Pacific, is Iquique, Chile on the far southeast shore of the same ocean

All current maps are a lie

I don't quite understand the inversion. Like if you move 1500 km you're on the same side, but 15000 km you're inverted. Someone please explain.

Jaen in Spain which has a population of around 112,757 is just short of being Antipodal to my home town Tauranga in New Zealand, population 158,300.

Pretty crazy coincidence they are so close in population and Antipodal to each other.

Greetings people in Xian from Santiago 🇨🇱

Speaking of Taiwan, the portuguese named it Formosa. It's antipode is right north of the Argentine province of Formosa

You forgot Phnom Penh / Lima

'Antipodes' has four syllables...An/TIP/uh/dees

Well, it all trivially follows from the fact that most landmass is on the northern hemisphere. Why is that, god only knows.

My antipode is in the middle of the Atlantic but close to the Azores islands

Being from Detroit, Michigan in the US, my antipode is a very tiny town in Western Australia called Augusta. It's not the exact location, but it's the closest inhabited place to it. The actual location is in the Indian Ocean, like the rest of the US, except Alaska and Hawaii.

Im actually a new zealander and i always thought antipodes were so cool
