Mini Review: The Degree Confluence Project
Geography: Back in school, I'd always groan and roll my eyes at the thought of studying stuff like the primary export of Canada, the difference between lines of latitude and lines of longitude, and where tundra is found. But now that I'm an adult (or so my driver's license tells me), I've learned that you can have fun with geography--especially if you can combine it with photography.
Specifically, I'm talking about the Degree Confluence Project. If you enjoy looking at pictures taken from exotic locales around the globe, this might just be the most fascinating Web site you've ever visited.
The goal of the Degree Confluence Project is to photograph the site of every major latitude and longitude intersection around the world. It turns out that there are 64,442 intersections, with about 12,000 of them on land. Only about 1150 of these spots have been successfully visited and photographed; the rest are waiting for you to grab a camera and a GPS receiver.
The site is well designed and quite searchable. Don't forget: You can submit your own pictures if you happen to be at an intersection that hasn't yet been photographed. So if you are visiting Brunei, the Congo, or Antarctica anytime soon, be sure to bring your camera.
