What's on the opposite side of Chad?

Start near the middle of Chad and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 15.2776° S, 161.6933° W, in South Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Cook Islands 🇨🇰, roughly 686 km (426 miles) north.

The closest settlement of any size is Pago Pago, American Samoa, about 975 km (606 miles) from the point.
