Antipodes of Argentina

Argentina's antipodes are located in East Asia, covering a wide area of China and Mongolia, as well as a small portion of Russia and Taiwan. This makes Argentina the South American country with the highest land overlap in its antipodes and one of the highest in the world for terrestrial correspondence.

Argentine territory projects onto eastern China, including its coasts and a portion of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. Its antipodal reflection traces a path that crosses Mongolia and extends to southern Russia.

Argentina's projection at its opposite point on the globe produces an apparent 180° rotation: northern Argentina is oriented toward southern Asia and the east toward western Asia. This occurs because, when representing a territory in its antipodal position through a cartographic projection, the north-south and east-west axes are simultaneously inverted.

• Argentina's antipodal projection covers a significant portion of Chinese territory, including provinces such as Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and parts of Liaoning.
• Central Argentina projects onto the plains of northern China, one of the most important agricultural and populated areas of the Asian country.
• Southern Argentina projects its antipodes onto Mongolia and, to a lesser extent, onto Russia's Far East, in areas near the border between both countries.
• The antipode of Buenos Aires, the country's capital, is located in the Yellow Sea, very close to Jiangsu province in China.
• Part of Argentine territory has antipodal correspondence with Taiwan, with the opposite point of certain areas of the country falling on the island.
