The Degree Confluence Project is an organized sampling of the world asking people to take a picture of each of the latitude and longitude integer degree intersections in the world. There is a confluence within 49 miles (79 km) of you if you’re on the surface of Earth. Even if confluences in the oceans and some near the poles are discounted, there are still 12,781 to be found.

All you need is a good map, a camera, and a compass (a GPS can help) The pictures and stories related are posted on the website.
