Antipodes
For the related abstract mathematical concept of an antipodal point, see that article.In geography, the antipodes (from Greek anti- "opposed" and pous "foot"; pronounced [ænˈtɪpəˌdiːz]) of any place on Earth is its antipodal point; that is, the region on the Earth's surface which is diametrically opposite to it. Two points which are antipodal [ænˈtɪpədəl] to one another are connected by a straight line through the centre of the Earth.
