Null Island is the location at zero degrees latitude and zero degrees longitude (0°N 0°E) (location::0.0,0.0) where the Prime Meridian and the Equator intersect.
It is a fictious location. It is used to identify incorrect mapping location data.
Till 2021, a weather buoy named Soul buoy was moored at the location.
The antipode of Null Island is in the Pacific Ocean.
Idea
Max and I were talking about latitudes and longitudes. As we were talking about the world being divided into four parts based on these imaginary lines, we had this question:
- [ ? ] What is the meeting point of the Prime Meridian and the Equator?.
