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 Nanga Eboko
The DMS coordinates are: 4°40'60'' N 12°22'0'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 4.68333°
LngO = 12.36667°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -4.68333°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 12.36667 - 180° = -167.63333°
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 Nanga Eboko is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-4.68333, -167.63333)
In DMS format: 4°40'60'' N 12°22'0'' E .
