You can’t dig to China. I checked every km² of Earth



Everyone says if you dig straight down you come out in China. So I checked every square kilometre of land on Earth and mapped the antipode of all of it.

86% of the world’s land comes out in open ocean. Only Argentina and Chile actually dig to China. Spain digs to New Zealand. Indonesia digs to the Amazon. Greenland digs to Antarctica — ice, through the whole planet, into more ice.

The two cities closest to being perfect opposites on Earth: Esmeraldas, Ecuador and Padang, Indonesia — 4.4 km off, out of a 40,075 km circumference.
