The Pacific Ocean Contains its Own Antipode: It Covers Half the Circumference of the Earth in One Place

The antipode of any spot on Earth is the point on Earth's surface diametrically opposite to it; the antipodes of a region similarly represent the area opposite it. A pair of points antipodal to each other are situated such that a straight line connecting the two would pass through Earth's center. Such points are as far away from each other as possible.
