Details of the project, including it's beginnings, step-by-step directions for finding confluences, and a proposed solution to the poles problem are outlined on the More Information page.

143 successful confluences, 12 attempted confluences, 170 visitors and 720 photographs in 11 countries.

Some confluences are more popular than others, as evidenced by 34°N 118°W, which has now been visited four times by 11 people. Three times the party thought they were the first!

The fastest and most complete way of getting a confluence posted to the site is to submit it online using our new form. You can give all the needed information and upload all the pictures right from your web browser. Click here to take a look.

Poland's first visited confluence is of a sugar beet field: N51 E17.

The first confluence from Norway features an impressive panoramic view of the surrounding countryside at N59 E10.

New pictures were recently added to this amazing confluence located in the 'Rub al Khali (Empty Quarter) of Saudi Arabia. 10,000-year-old artifacts and kilometers of empty desert at N18 E46.

Two confluence hunters visit the Greenwich observatory (where the Greenwich Meridian, 0 degrees longitude, was defined). It's not on an actual confluence point, but it's included here due to its historical importance and its key role in defining longitude around the globe.

The new Confluence Calendars are great! (according to Alex's parents). All proceeds go to support the project, and you can order online by credit card. Click here for more information.

On-line maps are now available courtesy of TopoZone and MapsOnUs. From a region page (such as New Hampshire) or a visited confluence page, click on the "close" link for a close-up view, or the "far" link for an overview.
