∙ 6y agoThe 180th meridian (also Antimeridian) crosses the islands of Fiji. The western part of Fiji is at +179.9 degrees longitude, and the eastern part spans -179.9 degrees longitude.
Typically the International Date Line follows the 180th meridian from North to South pole but there are a few special cases such as Fiji where the International Date Line is bent to give uniform time (UTC+12) to all of the Fiji island group.
This makes Fiji a very interesting region to map makers.

What the position of Fiji in relation to the International date line?
Although the line at 180° passes right through Fiji, the International Date Line at that latitude is relocated to the east sides of Western Samoa and Tonga. I don't know how many miles that is, but it's at least 6° of longitude east of 180°. (Western Samoa relocated the International Date Line to its east side in December, 2011, less than seven months before the time of this writing.)
