Crossing the 45th parallel north with a direction towards the North Pole while driving on Autostrada A21.


45th parallel north is known as the halfway point between the North Pole and the Equator.
The actual halfway point between the North Pole and the Equator is actually at:
45° 8' 45.7" N / 45° 8.76166666666' N / 45.14602777777°
because Earth isn't a perfect sphere, but actually an oblate spheroid.
