Standing on the equator offers the unique experience of being in both hemispheres simultaneously - try it at Ecuador's Mitad del Mundo monument or Kenya's equator markers. You can witness interesting physics phenomena like water draining differently on each side and experience the strange sensation of having no shadow at noon. Many locations offer certificates and photo opportunities with one foot in each hemisphere.
