Start near the middle of Norway and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 79.9581° S, 157.3175° W, in Ross Sea 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Antarctica 🇦🇶, roughly 142 km (88 miles) north.
The closest settlement of any size is Scott Base, Antarctica, about 789 km (490 miles) from the point.
