The Greenwich meridian (Prime Meridian) is a line between the north and south poles,

with a length that's half of the earth's polar circumference. Part of it crosses oceans,

to be sure. But it also traverses plenty of land, in England, France, Spain, Algeria,

Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Ghana, and Antarctica.
