Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive. Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period. ||||| Remember that favorite childhood question: if you could dig a hole so deep in your backyard that you would end up on the other side of the world, where would you be? Australia? China? 
 
 One Google Maps-based website figures out where you would end up, if such a thing were possible. 
 
 It turns out that if you're digging from most of the continental U.S., you'd end up swimming somewhere in the Indian Ocean. 
 
 AntipodeMap.com allows you to see which location is exactly halfway around the world from where you are. Double click or move the top map to your region to see which area is diametrically opposite to your current location. 
 
 The site defines two antipodal points as being connected by a straight line through the dead center of the Earth. For example, New York City's antipodal point is in the Indian Ocean, just southwest of Perth, Australia. San Francisco's antipodal point is southeast of Madagascar, off the African coast.

– A journey through the center of the Earth would spit you out on the other side—but where? A Google Maps-based website aims to answer that question. AntipodeMap.com allows you to pick a location and automatically see the spot on the opposite side of the globe, Mashable reports. Most of the continental US, for example, is opposite the Indian Ocean. San Francisco's antipodal point: just southeast of Madagascar. Find out your own geographic antipode here.
