SO. It took me half an hour but I was finally able to guess a landmass that is the ‘antipodes’ to a location in the United States! For most of our opposite coordinates land smack dab in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

In any case, the Sub-Antarctican island Ile Amsterdam is opposite Colorado.

I did have to look up islands in the Indian Ocean because I’d don’t know all the countries and territories, but I think it should count.

Considering the land mass of the USA, it feels surprising that it does not ‘antipode’ many other land masses. Northern Alaska barely ends up in Antarctica, Hawaii ends up in Namibia, and the American Samoa lands in Niger. Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands almost hit Brazil though! (I did not check any territory without a permanent population) But once you remember that the world is about 29% land to 71% water, it makes more sense.

*if you want to go the quick route, just type in your capitol or most central city. If you want to make a little more sure, I suggest picking your most west, east, north and south cities (corner cities). If you’re absolutely determined to check every single spot like I was, trying out territories, then I have an option for you to click don’t worry lol. If you live in a territory, please count it how you’d like

**you actually live in one of the not permanently populated US territories right now. MISTAKES ARE FORGIVEN.
