Video summary

What does it feel like to stand in the middle of the world? Join us live from Mitad del Mundo, just outside Quito, Ecuador, where the Northern and Southern Hemispheres meet. In 1736, a group of French scientists traveled to this region on an extraordinary mission to determine the true shape of the Earth, forever changing our understanding of the planet. We’ll uncover the story of their remarkable expedition as we explore the famous Equator Monument and discover why this location became known as the Middle of the World. Along the way, we’ll step inside the museum to explore Ecuador’s rich cultural heritage, learn about the science of the equator, and discover some surprising facts about life at latitude zero. This live and interactive journey brings together
history, science, and culture from one of the most fascinating geographical landmarks in the world.
