Obelisk Circumnavigation '08

Antipodal Maps
Some purists hold that a true circumnavigation is not complete unless it passed through two antipodal points along the way. Antipodes are two places, diametrically opposed to each other, that can be connected by a straight line through the center of the earth.

Original Point: Strait of Gibraltar
Antipode: Whangarei, North Island, New Zealand
