The Degree Confluence Project

Wired News reports on the Degree Confluence Project, a new website that is trying to collect photos from every point on the globe (at least the ones on dry land) where the whole-number degrees of latitude and longitude intersect (they also note that it gives people who bought GPS devices something to do). So far about 3,000 of the 16,000 confluence points on land have been documented, but a few of the points, like a few high up in the Himalayas or another on a nuclear testing site in Nevada, are going to be tough to ever get to.
