The term antipodes, as I was trying to explain, is a plural.
The singular is antipode in common parlance or properly
antipus (or most linguistically properly -pous).

But whoever wrote this article you quoted ignores this fact,
causing a fresh new ignorance.

A funny aside - I just read an article by David Smiedt, an 
Australian, in which Sir Donald Bradman is described as "an 
Antipodean Babe Ruth." Of course, that same article misprinted
or misstated "a cricket inning," of which no such thing 
actually exists (the Anglo-English word innings being a
singular), the Internet notwithstanding. I attribute this to 
the meddling of a U.S.-trained editor.
