Geocache Description:


EQUATOR

The equator is the latitude that divides the earth in the northern and southern hemisphere, and the circumference of the earth at the equator is 40075 km (24901 miles). “Around the World in 80 Days” is a well-known novel by Jules Verne from 1873. Back then, it was a much bigger challenge to travel around the world in 80 days than it is today (before COVID-19…). But it is still a considerable distance. Many geocachers have travelled long distances in our search for boxes around the world.

This is located at the given coordinates, but in order to be able to log "Found it" on this challenge, you must have travelled a cache-to-cache distance corresponding to at least 1 lap around the equator, i.e. at least 40075 km (24901 miles). But, unlike in the novel, you may have taken as much time as you wanted to make it happen!

To document that you are qualified, use the checker below. Unqualified found-it-logs are deleted. (In order for the statistics to give a correct picture, it is important that you log your cache findings in the correct chronological order.) If you are NOT qualified and FTF is still available, do not sign on the FTF line but write a Note log to record that you signed it. When you later have travelled far enough, you can log “Found it”.
