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 Tvøroyri
The DMS coordinates are: 61°33'20.1'' N 6°48'39.9'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 61.55557°
LngO = -6.81109°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -61.55557°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -6.81109 + 180° = 173.18891°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Tvøroyri is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-61.55557, 173.18891)
In DMS format: 61°33'20.1'' N 6°48'39.9'' W.
