Start near the middle of Rwanda and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 1.9570° N, 149.9692° W, in North Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Kiribati 🇰🇮, roughly 801 km (498 miles) east.
The closest settlement of any size is Hilo, United States of America, about 2,050 km (1,274 miles) from the point.
