Which geographical coordinate is the most correct one?
Latitude: 65 33 00 S (degrees minutes) or -65.5500 (decimal degrees) Longitude: 092 40 00 E (degrees minutes) or 92.6667 (decimal degrees) Source: http://www.getty.edu/vow/TGNFullDisplay?find=drygalski island&place=&nation=&prev_page=1&english=Y&subjectid=1006984. The website cites the following offline source for this geographical coordinate: Times Atlas of the World. 9th comprehensive edition. New York: Times Books, 1992. See also Times Atlas of the World: In this Wikipedia-article, you can read that the newest edition of the Timeas Atlas of the World is not the 9th, but the 10th edition and that the 10th edition was the first edition having been completely produced by means of computer-cartography. Therefore, maybe some geographical coordinates have also changed between the 9th and the 10th edition (?) -- Citylover12:24, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Googleing: "Drygalski Island" "Latitude" "Longitude": One of the results: http://dspace.anu.edu.au/bitstream/1885/42892/2/world_1mil_152.html WAC Advance ed 1948 1751 Drygalski Island E0840000 E0980000 S0640000 S0680000. WAC: World Aeronautical Chart. The 2 coordinates maybe mean southern/northern-most and western/eastern-most areal extension (although I am not sure at all about that because the differences seem to be fairly big, maybe this is something for airplane-pilots). -- Citylover12:24, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
