This is Georgia 🇬🇪 — 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 Georgia and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 42.2976° S, 136.3980° W, in South Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Pitcairn Islands 🇵🇳, roughly 2,124 km (1,320 miles) south — far enough out that no shore would be in sight.
The closest settlement of any size is Papeete, French Polynesia, about 3,023 km (1,878 miles) from the point.
