• The north and south poles are literally antipodal ; that is, they are exactly opposite each other on the globe. There is a group of islands near New Zealand called the Antipodes. The islands were named by European explorers who believed they had traveled just about as far away from their home as they possibly could.
• Antipodal can also be used to describe opposites that have nothing to do with geography. John and Mary held antipodal positions on the subject of working. Mary was for it, and John was against it.
  antipodal 은 또한 지리학과 관계없는 정반대의 것을 표현할 때도 사용할 수 있다. 존과 메리는 당면 문제에 있어서 정반대의 입장을 견지했다.
