Degree Confluence Project  E-mail
Written by Glenn Letham (GISuser editor)   
10 July 2004
The goal of the project is to visit each of the latitude and longitude integer degree intersections in the world, and to take pictures at each location. The pictures and stories will then be posted on the website.

According to the developers, "the project is an organized sampling of the world. There is a confluence within 49 miles (79 km) of you if you're on the surface of Earth. We've discounted confluences in the oceans and some near the poles, but there are still 12,927 to be found."

Most recently, th Degree Confluence Project reached 20% completion, with 3,233 unique successful visits out of the total of 16,164 primary degree confluences worldwide. Since the project began in 1996 there have been confluence visits in 150 countries, by over 5,000 visitors.
