The Degree Confluence Project is a community of adventurers and explorers who have the goal of visiting every point on earth where lines of latitude and longitude meet, either on land or within sight of land. This page explores the percent of points visited in each country as a fraction of the total.
Some island countries with a small amount of land area have a large number of points in their territorial waters.
๐ง๐ช ๐ฑ๐บ I've been to all four points in Belgium, as well as the only point in Luxembourg.
๐บ๐ธ ๐ฉ๐ช ๐ฆ๐น ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ซ๐ท I have visited many points in the United States, two in Germany, and one each in Austria, Canada and France.
๐ธ๐ณ ๐บ๐ฌ I've driven very close to points in Senegal and Uganda.
๐ซ๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐ช ๐ต๐ฑ ๐ท๐ด ๐ง๐พ There are 33 countries with multiple points that have all been visited. Of these the largest are Finland, Germany and Poland.
๐ฆ๐บ ๐บ๐ธ Australia and the United States are large countries near 75%.
๐ฎ๐ณ ๐ง๐ท ๐จ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ฟ India, Brazil, China and Kazakhstan are large countries near 50%.
๐จ๐ฆ ๐ท๐บ Canada and Russia are the worldโs largest countries, and are near 25% due to the remote nature of most of their territory.
๐ต๐ฌ ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ช๐ญ Papua New Guina and Congo-Kinshasa are large countries where only one point has been visited, due to their extremely inaccessible terrain.
๐ฆ๐ถ ๐ฌ๐ฑ Antarctica is the largest territory by far with 6714 points. Only 0.19% of them have been visited, including the South Pole. Greenland doesn't fare much better, at 1.10%.
๐ฝ๐ฐ ๐ฑ๐บ ๐ฒ๐น ๐ท๐ผ ๐ต๐ธ Five land countries have a single point which has been visited, along with ten islands. I've been near to the one in Luxembourg.
๐ธ๐ด ๐จ๐ซ ๐จ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ง๐น ๐ฌ๐ถ ๐ง๐ฎ Seven land countries have multiple points, none of which have been visited, along with 17 island countries. Somalia and North Korea are off the tourist map due to their political situations.
๐ฐ๐ผ Kuwait is the only land country with a single point which hasn't been visited, along with ten islands.
๐ฆ๐ฉ ๐ง๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐ฒ๐จ ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ธ๐ฌ Eight smaller land countries have no points at all, along with nine islands.
