Halibut Rock

Last updated • a couple of secsFrom Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Halibut Rock, just off the rocky shore of Peggy's Cove Point, Nova Scotia, is a navigation hazard, lying slightly below the surface. Extreme low tides sometimes offer a quick glimpse of its flat surface protruding above the trough of a swell. Most times cresting waves reveal its location, just southwest of the lighthouse. Halibut Rock is charted on the Nautical Chart of St. Margaret's Bay D7-4386. [1]

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
