The point exactly opposite Greenland's center through the Earth's core
If you dug a tunnel straight through the Earth's center from Greenland, you'd surface nearest to Dover, Australia, about 3,200 km from the exact antipodal point — most of the Earth's surface opposite any given point is open ocean, so an exact land match is rare.
