Null Island

Located at zero longitude and zero latitude (or at 0 degrees north and 0 degrees east) in the South Atlantic Ocean—where the prime meridian meets the equator—where it would be if it actually existed.
Null Island is a mélange of real and imaginary geography, of mathematical certainty, and pure fantasy.
