Antipodes of Antarctica

The antipodes of Antarctica occupy an immense region surrounding the North Pole, spanning most of the Arctic Ocean and extending onto northern continental landmasses.

This projection covers extremely cold and remote zones, creating a curious polar symmetry where the frozen southern continent is reflected in the icy waters and tundras of the north. The projection of Antarctica on the other side of the world touches coasts and inland areas of countries like Russia, Canada, and Greenland, connecting the planet's two coldest extremes.

Since Antarctica is located at the South Pole, it appears larger on the flat map than it actually is, so it is recommended to use the 3D map to see Antarctica in its actual size.

• The Antarctic Peninsula, which juts northward from the continent, has its terrestrial counterpart in eastern Russia, covering vast areas of Siberia.
• Much of the continental mass of East Antarctica projects onto the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and covers a significant portion of Greenland.
• The opposite territory reaches the northernmost United States, overlapping with the northern coastal regions of Alaska.
• The antipodal projection encompasses the Svalbard archipelago, which is midway between Norway and the North Pole.
