About

The Helgoland graticule is at latitude 54, longitude 7. With the only landmasses being two islands totaling about 4.2 km², the odds of a hash being in the sea are overwhelming. The graticule's area is distributed as follows:

99.98%	Water
 0.02%  Land

Statistically, a geohash in this graticule falls on land rougly once in 14 years, meaning one land geohash from the inception of the game through 2020.

Map and stats

Name	code	area type	Geohash probability
■ Schleswig-Holstein	SH	land	0.024%
■ Schleswig-Holstein	SH	incl. waters	18.1%
■ Niedersachsen	NI	waters	1.6%

Expeditions

2018-11-29 54 7 - Fippe was the first to document a geohashing expedition on Helgoland.

Previous hash locations

On 2008-05-21 (the first day of geohashing), the hash was about 1.050 meters off the western shore.
On 2008-09-18 the geohash was about 50 meters off the eastern shore of Helgoland, between the two islands.
Hit! On 2013-01-08 the geohash was located on the island Helgoland-Düne (Heligoland dune).

-The Helgoland [[graticule]] is at [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=54&long=7&abs=1 latitude 54, longitude 7]. High probability of geohash coordinates being in water, since the only landmass are two islands totaling just 4.2 km².
