Start near the middle of Armenia and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 39.9525° S, 134.9363° W, in South Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Pitcairn Islands 🇵🇳, roughly 1,836 km (1,141 miles) south — far enough out that no shore would be in sight.
The closest settlement of any size is Papeete, French Polynesia, about 2,863 km (1,779 miles) from the point.
