Existing marks on stones or ground<\/h2>\nThe Meridian Statue<\/h3>\n
A monument \u2013 Meridian Statue – was erected to honour the completion of the arc. Fuglenes in Hammerfest is the northernmost point \u2013 the endpoint in the chain of survey triangulation.<\/p>\n
Recommended to visit at Fuglenes in Hammerfest.<\/strong><\/p>\n The monument was placed exactly where the astronomical observations were carried out in 1850.<\/strong><\/p>\n The monument, square bolt, and concrete block used for astronomical measurements in 1928 are intact. The square bolt is from the early 1970s. The point at which they stood during the survey was detected, based on data from the original observation books.<\/p>\n The square bolt is about 14 meters in a northerly direction from Meridianst\u00f8tta.<\/p>\n The point at which the measurement of the meridian arc was carried out is 2.5 meters from Meridian Statue in the western direction.<\/p>\n Note! <\/strong>Two monuments were erected to honour the completion of the arc. The other one can be found in Staro-Nekrassowka.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Name in the \u201cArc du M\u00e9ridien de 25\u00ba 20′ entre le Danube et la Mer Glaciale m\u00e9sure depuis 1816 jusqu\u2019en 1855\u201d by F.G.W Struve: FUGLENAES.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The monument is taken care of by the local people in Hammerfest Municipality.
