	Degree Confluence Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Degree Confluence Project is a World Wide Web-based project which aims to have people visit each of the integer degree intersections of latitude and longitude on Earth, posting photographs of each location online.
		The project allows visits to confluence points which have been visited previously, and many confluence points in North America and Europe have been visited several times.
		The total number of confluence points is 64,442, of which 21,541 are on land, 38,411 on water, and 4,490 on the Arctic ice cap.

		Initially, I got involved with the Degree Confluence Project(DCP) because I volunteered to complete the index of confluences for British Columbia, which at the time(April 2001) was incomplete.
		In May 2001 the project's originator, Alex Jarrett, asked for volunteers to be regional coordinators, which is how I became the project's Canadian coordinator.

		But these confluence seekers are undeterred, for their goal is to photograph every such intersection on the planet, apart from those too far out to sea to be feasible, and post the images on the Degree Confluence project website.
		While the confluence hunters are working towards a common goal, there is little doubt that a healthy dose of competition is involved, especially among the elite few whose visits run well into double figures.
		With most confluence points in Europe and North America already visited, confluence hunters are having to set their sights further afield if they want to be the first to get a mention on the Degree Confluence project website.

		Today, more than 4,400 GPS-toting travelers have participated in the Degree Confluence Project, covering nearly all the easily accessible points in the United States and Western Europe, and putting a sizeable dent into other populated portions of the globe.
		In all, project coordinators estimate that about 3,000 confluence points -- the intersection of whole-number latitude and longitude lines -- have been visited, out of a total of 16,000 global confluence points located on land and meet the goal of the project.
		But, Degree Confluence isn't collecting pictures from mid-ocean or confluence points close to the poles, where longitude lines can be as little as a few meters apart.

		The number of 'primary' confluences is 41,253 (roughly 360 squared divided by pi) -- this is the same number of total square degrees on a sphere which astronomers use to specify constellation areas.
		This number is obtained by filtering the 360 x 180 possible intersection points into 'primary' and 'secondary' confluences in such a way that there are not too many primary confluences near the poles.
		Many confluence points north and south of 49 degrees are arbitrarily declared unofficial.

	Manthey's Degree Confluence Project Notes
		The Degree Confluence Project's goal is to visit each integer crossing of latitude and longitude.
		At the suggestion of my brother Ben (a fellow confluence hunter), I wrote a program to generate a Worldwide Composite Map based on the index photographs of all of the confluences that have been visited or attempted.
		Any confluence that is on land or ice cap and was not eliminated based on the pole reduction algorithm (see the Degree Confluence Project website) is marked as a primary confluence.

	[No title]
		This non-profit international research project is designed to record a sampling of the earth's geography by visiting every point on land where a degree of latitude crosses a degree of longitude.
		Participants in this project attempt to photograph the view from each of these locations and then post the images on the Internet so that anyone interested in the project may view them.

		I had flown to Lithuania almost straight from Egypt-via-London, and had not had the opportunity to look on the Degree Confluence site to see if anything had been done in Lithuania.
		We eventually got to the village of Lygumai in the heart of the magnificent Lithuanian countryside and figured that the confluence was about a kilometre to the east-south-east.
		We then got to the opposite side of the Wild Man's field and the GPS directed us to the green field across the road from his — the confluence was just a few hundred metres away.
