Best Answer

The meridian of longitude at 172 degrees east is an imaginary line that joins the north

and south poles, and passes through the Russian Federation, the US territorial waters

off Alaska, the Marshall Islands about 40 miles east of Majuro, about 68 miles west of

Tarawa, the islands of Tuvalu about 490 miles west of the capital at Funafuti, the territorial

waters of Fiji, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia, then across New Zealand and Antarctica.

Every point on that line has a longitude of 172 degrees east.
