Have you ever wondered where you would end up if you dug straight through the globe?
Through an interactive map, your opposite pole is revealed on the other side of the world – for real.
Coming to China is a popular answer to the question of where you end up if you dig straight through the earth.
In fact, the most populated places on Earth have an opposite point somewhere in the ocean, perhaps not so surprising given that the Earth’s surface consists of about 71 percent and the chances of hitting land are thus relatively low.
But there are still a number of cities in the world that are polar opposites.
On the Antipodesmap site, you can use an interactive map to search for your own antipodes, based on where you are right now. It reports Daily Mail.
Here you will find an interactive map.
Facts
From Malaga to Auckland
If you are, for example, in Malaga in Spain and dig through the globe, you will come out in Auckland in New Zealand.
If instead you start digging in Timbuktu in Mali, you will end up in Fiji.
And to actually get out in China, more precisely in Nanjing, you need to start digging in Galves in Argentina, or in Buenos Aires to get out in Shanghai.
