I thought this was pretty cool ..

What Is At Coordinate 0,0 On Earth? https://www.iflscience.com/what-is-at-coordinate-00-on-earth-80514

For many years, nations insisted that 0° longitude should pass through their country. So where has 0° latitude and 0° longitude ended up?.. .. countries disagreed where the "Prime Meridian" – the point at which the longitude is set at 0° – should be. ..

So in 1884,  representatives from 25 countries finally decided on where the universal Prime Meridian should be. You can read about it in the link above, but what I found interesting is what it is that marks the spot..

Null Island.

I've never been there, but anyone is welcome to go, have some 2 for 1 Margaritas,  it's a low crime area with no government oversights, free rent and no property taxes at all, primarily because Null Island doesn't consist of any land. In fact the whole island is a fabrication - as in an imaginary place (also explained in the article). But it's coordinates is what's of significance, and those are real.

So what is at the zero zero coordinate on earth? This so named Null Island?

It's the middle of the Atlantic and the only thing that physically marks the spot 0/0 is this NOAA weather buoy:
