Geographic coordinate systemA geographic coordinate system (GCS) is a spherical or geodetic coordinate system for measuring and communicating positions directly on Earth as latitude and longitude. It is the simplest, oldest, and most widely used type of the various spatial reference systems that are in use, and forms the basis for most others.
HøybergoddenHøybergodden, officially Hoybergodden, is the most western point of the volcanic island of Jan Mayen. The name refers to the nearby volcanic crater of Hoyberg (from the Dutch for haystack). The point is also the most western point of the Kingdom of Norway.Height above mean sea levelHeight above mean sea level is a measure of a location's vertical distance (height, elevation or altitude) in reference to a vertical datum based on a historic mean sea level. In geodesy, it is formalized as orthometric height. The zero level varies in different countries due to different reference points and historic measurement periods. Climate change and other forces can cause sea levels and elevations to vary over time.*As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
