Wishing every reader the very best for this millennium, I would like to ask: Does anybody know the exact geographical coordinates of the international date line? I have compiled from some of the better maps a very speculative list of coordinates and I hope that somebody is able to correct this list. 90N 180W (North pole) 75N 180W 68N 168W 66N 168W 53N 170E 47N 180W and now the Kiribati swing 2.5N 180W 0N 177W 0N 166.5W 3.3S 166.5W 3.3S 160W 2N 160W and now diagonally to, or first via 2N 162W? 5N 162W 5N 154.5W 2.3N 152.25W 7S 149W 12S 149W 12S 157W 7S 157W 7S 178.5W and following again the original line: 15.5S 172.25W 45S 172.25W 51S 180W 90S 180W (South pole) Regards, Oscar van Vlijmen 2000-01-01
