The point that is directly opposite another on the Earth's surface is called an antipode. It is therefore also the most distant possible point from the original location. Because there is relatively little land in the Southern Hemisphere, most land antipodes are in the southern oceans. Some notable sets of land antipodes are:
- Spain and New Zealand
- the Philippines and central Brazil
- eastern China and Argentina/Chile
- Vietnam and southern Peru
- the Malay peninsula and northwest South America
