Digging through the world

It’s a question that most kids ask at some point - if you dig straight down through the Earth, where will you come out? Growing up in Colorado, we were pretty sure the correct answer was China.

Now you can find out the real answer - at http://www.ubasics.com/dighole/. There are two maps on this page, each with a little red push-pin.

Using your mouse and left mouse button, “grab” the top map and drag it until your location sits under the push-pin. The pin on the bottom map will show you where you would pop out if you dug straight through the Earth!
