60th meridian west

The meridian 60° west of Greenwich is a line of longitude that extends from the North Pole across the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, North America, the Atlantic Ocean, South America, the Southern Ocean, and Antarctica to the South Pole.

The mean solar time of this meridian is the base for the Atlantic Time Zone (UTC-4 during standard time).

The 60th meridian west forms a great circle with the 120th meridian east.
