Start near the middle of Angola and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 11.8805° N, 161.1902° W, in North Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Kiribati 🇰🇮, roughly 908 km (564 miles) north.
The closest settlement of any size is Hilo, United States of America, about 1,087 km (675 miles) from the point.
