This is Estonia 🇪🇪 — what it is, and what sits on the far side of the planet from it. The antipode is the point you would reach by digging straight through the centre of the Earth.

Start near the middle of Estonia and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 58.4981° S, 154.4383° W, in South Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Antarctica 🇦🇶, roughly 1,996 km (1,240 miles) north — far enough out that no shore would be in sight.
The closest settlement of any size is Zucchelli Station, Antarctica, about 2,464 km (1,531 miles) from the point.
