Where would you be if you were at the nearest point to the centre of the Earth without being below its surface?

Possibly at the lowest point on the earth's surface which I think might be the Marianas Trench - but I am prepared to be corrected on that.
The Dead Sea?
The point closest to the Earth's centre (~6353 km) is probably somewhere at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean (depth ~4 km) near the Geographic North Pole (the bottom of the Mariana Trench is 6366.4 km from the centre of the Earth).
The lowest point on dry land is the shore of the Dead Sea, 418 m below sea level.

Does anyone really, actually beleive "facts" that are put on Wikipedia? Really??????????

But the earth is oblate due to its rotation and lunar effect, so the poles are closer to the centre than anywhere on the equator ... ... by about 20 km.
