Come together, right now ...

the Degree Confluence Project

"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 here." (from the Degree Confluence Project website)

If you like geocaching, you might like this too. They don't count the ones in the oceans or near the poles, but that still leaves 13,667 degree confluence sites to visit!

Here's a few country statistics about primary confluence points (ie not near the poles or in the ocean) to ponder over ...
