Seen on the side of my new water bottle.

It is sad but I don't know how to find that location on the internet. I could use my old world atlas if I could remember where I put it. I am guessing Cambridge Bay.

It's possible to enter those coordinates into Google Maps, exactly as they're written on that bottle. The '°' symbol can be copy/pasted from a document or a character map utility, or entered via a keyboard combo if your OS and keyboard support it.

Thanks. I didn't know that... I still miss having a high quality paper atlas but I am old fashioned that way.

Or you could just convert the mixed radix numbers to straight decimal.

Or just type the space-separated numbers with the N and W and google will figure it out.

I'm curious as to _why_ James' water bottle has this particular degree of locative specificity.

My nephew and his family live there.

A simple and compelling explanation!

Thank you!

It's not me, by the by.

While that would be an interesting exercise in conclusion jumping, I had already lept to incompatible conclusions about relative ages.
