ProfessorThe International Date Line and the Equator intersect at the point 0° longitude and 180° latitude in the Pacific Ocean, southeast of Fiji. This point is known as the Null Island, although it is not a physical place but a theoretical point used for referencing purposes.
Zero North and 180 West is in the Pacific Ocean, roughly halfway between Hawaii and New Guinea.
