This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “antipodean,” comes to us from Kim. Check out her blog here!

When I was a kid, I was told the antipode (the opposite side of the planet) of where I lived was China. It’s not, and it never has been.

In fact, the antipode of Toronto (in and around where I’ve spent most of my life) is somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean, but closest to Australia.

Not that I would have known what an “antipode” was. In fact, I only learned the word two days ago from Kim!

If you want to find your antipode, you can do so here: https://www.geodatos.net/en/antipodes/
