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 Frederikshavn
The DMS coordinates are: 57°26'26.6'' N 10°32'11.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 57.44073°
LngO = 10.53661°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -57.44073°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 10.53661 - 180° = -169.46339°
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 Frederikshavn is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-57.44073, -169.46339)
In DMS format: 57°26'26.6'' N 10°32'11.8'' E .
