I have some "meridian" links in my favorites collection.

Maybe an idea for someone to make an website with all these kind of links
???


The French meridean:

The Utrecht meridean:

Greenwich:

Fiji at 180 degr.:

Interesting, aren't they?



There should be many more sites to be found, for example on the equator,
polar circle etc.
I always wonder if anywhere the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn
are marked???

Another frontier, not being a real border, [but anything is alowed in this
group I learned] is the
continental division (waterscheiding it is called in my Dutch atlas).
I remember that on the way to Austria we saw at one of the German Autobahnen
a big sign
"Europaïsche Wasserscheide". Which might be considered a
sort-of-border-marker....
The GCEBE will cross the division also ......


What personally intrigues me also is the centre, the highest point etc.
For the Netherlands, you might check my humble website:
