Longest continuous north-south distance on land

What to remember

Meridian 99°1'30"E starts at the northern tip of Siberia, in Russia, and runs down through Mongolia, China and Myanmar to a point on the south coast of Thailand. Along that line, land is never interrupted for 7,590 km.

This is the longest continuous north-south distance on land. The route follows a meridian, a line of fixed longitude.
