Where exactly is it?

Los Angeles's antipode sits at 34.05°S, 61.76°E, in the southern hemisphere, east of Greenwich. That places it in or near the Indian Ocean.

It lies roughly 20,015 km from Los Angeles — about as far apart as two points on Earth can possibly be. And the relationship is symmetric: the antipode of that spot is, of course, right back here in Los Angeles.

What's actually there?

Los Angeles's antipode falls over open water, in or near the Indian Ocean — water covers about 71% of the globe, so antipodal land pairs are rare. The nearest named place is Pointe de la Rookerie, a cape in France, roughly 1,477 km away.
