The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Hlybokaye
The DMS coordinates are: 55°8'18.2'' N 27°41'25.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 55.1384°
LngO = 27.6905°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -55.1384°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 27.6905 - 180° = -152.3095°
Since the longitude is positive, we subtract 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would sum 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Hlybokaye is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-55.1384, -152.3095)
In DMS format: 55°8'18.2'' N 27°41'25.8'' E .
