The Meridian Line, a shared reference
Globe rolls along Longitude 0° 0' 0".
The Meridian Line in Greenwich represents the Prime Meridian of the world, with a Longitude of Zero. Every place on Earth is measured in terms of its angle east or west from this line. On its path from pole to pole the Meridian passes through England, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Ghana and Antarctica.
Globe will traverse the line, heading south from the National Maritime Museum and passing the Royal Observatory founded in 1675 for ‘finding the longitude of places’. It will then continue as close to the line as possible, oscillating east and west of the invisible boundary, until it reaches Torridon School for a series of workshops on 5th October.
