Did Columbus cross the equator or the prime meridian?

Christopher Columbus crossed both the Equator and the Prime Meridian during his voyages to the Americas. The Equator is an imaginary line that circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles, while the Prime Meridian is the line of longitude that passes through Greenwich, England, dividing the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
