Interactive Map Shows Where You'd Pop Up If You Dug Straight Through The Earth

 In most countries, people have a belief about where they'd find themselves if they dug their way through the middle of the planet and popped abreast of the opposite side. For people within the USA, they think it’s China. For people within the UK, they think it’s Australia. Australians think it's somewhere in Europe and hope it isn't the united kingdom because the weather is just too terrible there.

But prepare to readjust your childhood belief, as this interactive map will show you where you'd really find yourself if you were to dig your way through the world and somehow aren't getting burned to death by the core, or crushed by the extraordinary pressure. If you're within the UK, sorry, don't pack a hat with corks on. One, it's offensive, and two, you are going to finish up within the ocean just off the south-east coast of recent Zealand, not Australia like you have been taught. 

In fact, there aren't many places in Europe it's safe to dig down from. Most European countries lead straight to the ocean. the sole really safe place you'll visit from Europe by digging your way down is central Spain.

And where would you finish up if you travel from the USA? You guessed it. You're also ending up within the sea. The closest place we are able to find where you'd find yourself near actual terra firma is near Fort McMurray in Canada, which places you on one among the Heard Island and McDonald Islands. You can try the map for yourself here, and enter your location to search out out your antipode point.

So before you are trying and dig your way through the world sort of a supervillain or a crazed mole, take a glance at the map and see where you'll find yourself. you would like to be dressed appropriately upon arrival.
