Question

What country would you come up in if you drilled a hole straight through the earth from buenos aires ?

Answer 1

If you dug a hole straight through the earth, intersecting the core, you would not end up still in the southern hemisphere.

The coordinates for Buenos Aires are 34.61° S, 58.37° W.  If you take 180, subtract the longitude, and make it East, you will get your longitude.  Then take the Latitude, and simply make it 34.61 N instead of S.  You end up with this:

34.61 N, 121.63 E

If you put this into Google Maps, you unfortunately end up in the Yellow Sea, about 100 miles east of a city called Lianyungang in China.

Don't feel bad, though.  Most of the world's complete opposite is in the water somewhere.

Answer 2

You end up in the Indian Ocean, halfway between the Ayacucho and Arrecifes partidos in the southwest Indian ridge, south of Madagascar.
