Geocache Description:


The cache is a 35mm film canister hanging in a hardwood tree on Cocagne Island. In winter, in conditions when the ice is safe to walk on, the shortest crossing point is at the listed coordinates. If you cross in winter, please ensure the ice is safe before crossing. Other times of year, you will need a boat to access the island and retrieve the cache.

To find this cache, you need to solve the following puzzle all about mathematics. The final coordinates are:
