ANTIPODE DISCOVERY
Discover destinations by distance, not popularity
Antipode Discovery is a travel exploration tool built around distance, geography, and perspective.
Start from any city or location, then choose how far you’re willing to travel — from nearby escapes to near-antipode journeys on the opposite side of the Earth. As you explore, Antipode dynamically suggests destinations that match your distance range, helping you discover places you might not have searched for, but instantly understand in relation to home.
This is not a booking engine or a list of trending destinations.
It’s a way to explore the world spatially — by how far you go, and what lies beyond.
A different way to plan travel
Most travel tools optimise for price, speed, or popularity.
Antipode Discovery is designed for curiosity-led travel planning.
By framing destinations in terms of distance and opposition — home and away, here and there — it helps you see the world differently, and consider journeys that feel meaningful rather than obvious.
Sometimes the most interesting place to visit isn’t nearby.
Sometimes it’s the one almost exactly opposite you.
ANTIPODE FAQ
Why is this antipode map tool useful or interesting?
It offers global perspective — a better understanding of seasons, time zones, climate, geography, and how different cultures sit in relation to one another.
What exactly is an antipode?
It is the point directly opposite another on Earth — connected through the planet’s center. If you could drill straight down through your location, you would emerge at your antipode.
Why do most antipodes fall in the ocean?
Because Earth’s landmasses are clustered on one side of the planet. Over 90% of all antipodes place one point on land and the other in open ocean.
Do any major cities have true land-to-land antipodes?
A few rare pairs exist, including parts of New Zealand ↔ Spain, and parts of Argentina ↔ China. Most large cities do not have a land-based opposite.
Can I share my antipode?
Yes — use the map to find your opposite point, then screenshot or share the coordinates with friends. Yes — use Share Your Antipode to copy a link or generate an image card
