Start near the middle of Sierra Leone and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 8.5609° S, 168.1556° E, in South Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Solomon Islands 🇸🇧, roughly 322 km (200 miles) north-east.
The closest settlement of any size is Honiara, Solomon Islands, about 906 km (563 miles) from the point.
