Prime Meridian's Path

The exact path of the Prime Meridian, especially where it intersects landmasses and how it aligns with Greenwich, is sometimes misremembered.

What People Remember

People recall the Prime Meridian passing through different or fewer land areas, or having a more uniform, perfectly straight path.

What's Actually True

The Prime Meridian passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, and then through parts of Europe and Africa, including France, Spain, Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, and Ghana.
