I believe Oceania is also in all 4 hemispheres.

All of my sources say Africa is the only one. Can you share a source that also includes Oceania? Thanks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiribati The country of Kiribati alone "straddles both the equator and the 180th meridian". Jetpunk considers Kiribati to be a country of Oceania.

WAIT!!! I did find another source that corroborates your assertion: "Kiribati extends into the eastern and western hemispheres, as well as the northern and southern hemispheres. It is the only country that is situated within all four hemispheres." So I will accept Oceania and Africa.

Thank you for the reference. However, Oceania is not in all 4 hemispheres: North, South, East and West. None of Oceania including Kiribati, extends into the western hemisphere.

"Generally the Eastern Hemisphere includes most of Africa, about half of Antarctica, all of Asia and Australia/Oceania, and most of Europe."

It probably depends on whether you consider the dividing line between east and west the International Date Line or the Prime Meridian.

I was confused by the highest point answer. Everest is usually considered the highest point, but I see that Chimborazo is the farthest point from the Earth's center due to the bulge at the equator: https://geology.com/records/highest-mountain-in-the-world.shtml
