Entry# 03: Directly below, on the other side

The antipode is the point on the opposite side of the earth from another point - the place you'd end up if you were able to dig directly through the earth.

I marked some of my findings on the map..
Since most of Earth's surface is covered with water we can imagine some magnificent sea creatures swimming directly below us right through the earth on the other side.. or for e.g. if you are in Argentina don't forget that there are upside down Chinese people walking on the other side of earth's surface right under you:)

Also played around with Google Earth after a long time. Tried to export this animation in a better quality, but doesn't seem to get better than this: (You can download the animation here to view it using Google Earth)
