Antipode of Stockholm
Antipode of Stockholm
The antipode of Stockholm is located in the South Pacific Ocean, east of New Zealand and far from any major landmass.
If you were to draw a straight line from Stockholm through the center of the Earth, it would emerge in open ocean in the Southern Hemisphere, in a remote region defined by deep water and vast distances.

Why does Stockholm’s antipode fall in the Pacific Ocean?
Stockholm lies in northern Europe, well north of the equator and east of the Prime Meridian. When its latitude is inverted and its longitude shifted 180 degrees, the antipodal point lands deep in the South Pacific Ocean.
Because the Pacific Ocean covers such a vast portion of the Southern Hemisphere, most northern European cities — especially those at higher latitudes — have antipodes that fall far from land.
A geographic contrast
One point is a Nordic capital shaped by islands, forests, and long seasonal light cycles.
The other lies beneath open Pacific skies, surrounded by deep ocean, distant island chains, and long, uninterrupted horizons.
Opposite in position — and profoundly different in environment.
Frequently asked questions
Is Stockholm antipodal to any country?
No. Stockholm’s antipode lies in the South Pacific Ocean and does not fall on land.
Do other Scandinavian cities have similar antipodes?
Yes. Many cities in Scandinavia have antipodes located in the Pacific Ocean due to their northern latitude and global position.
Is Stockholm’s antipode near New Zealand?
It lies east of New Zealand but remains offshore, in open ocean rather than on land.
