Geocache Description:

A geographic photographic quiz

The cache is not at the given coords, but is close by.

NOTE  On 7/28/18, I relocated the final by 187 feet at a bearing of 226 deg;  equations below reflect the new location.

 

Posted below are 10 photos of places around the world.  Identify the locations and determine the degrees of latitude of the main feature shown.  Then use these numbers in the equations below to find the coords for the final. If you get stumped, ask a friend, or the owner will gladly supply hints.

 (Note:  Use integer degrees, ignore + or - , and don't round up.)
