Antipodes of Australia

The antipodes of Australia are located in the North Atlantic Ocean, covering an extensive area of open sea. The opposite point to any location in the Australian territory is invariably in the water, at a great distance from land.

Australia stands out as the country with the largest area whose antipodes are entirely marine, a notable example of asymmetry in the distribution of the emerged lands of the planet.

• Australia is the largest country in the world that does not have any terrestrial correspondence in the antipodes of its continental territory.
• No city in the world is exactly located at the opposite point to Australia.
• The nearest land masses include the Azores (Portuguese archipelago), Bermuda (British overseas territory off the east coast of the United States) and Cape Verde (island country off the west coast of Africa).
