Circles of latitude between the Equator and the 5th parallel north
Following are whole degree circles of latitude between the Equator and the 5th parallel north:
1st parallel north
The 1st parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 1 degree north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, and South America.The parallel defines part of the border between Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
