What Lies at Point 0°0′ - Place Where the World Begins

There’s a single spot on Earth where the Equator and Prime Meridian meet — the literal coordinates 0°0′, known as “Null Island.” But here’s the twist: it’s not really an island at all! It’s a tiny point in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of West Africa, marked only by a buoy — yet somehow, it’s one of the most famous “places” in mapping history. In this video, we’ll explore why millions of digital maps and GPS systems keep sending people there by mistake, how it became an internet legend, and what this strange coordinate tells us about how we measure our world. Get ready to travel to the place where Earth’s map officially begins.
