The point exactly opposite Zambia's center through the Earth's core
If you dug a tunnel straight through the Earth's center from Zambia, you'd surface nearest to Naalehu, United States, about 755 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.
