Start near the middle of Finland and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 65.0300° S, 152.6267° W, in Southern Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Antarctica 🇦🇶, roughly 1,265 km (786 miles) north.
The closest settlement of any size is Zucchelli Station, Antarctica, about 1,903 km (1,182 miles) from the point.
