Officialy Stockholm lies on [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=59&long=18&zoom=8&abs=1 59, 18] but since Stockholm is near the longitude line it would be possible to use [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=59&long=17&zoom=8&abs=1 59, 17].

About

Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. The Stockholm graticule contains the city centre and large parts of the surroundings but there is also a lot of water. Stockholm based geohashers probably also want to check out the coordinates for the neighbouring Uppsala graticule as the chances for accessible hashpoints are larger there.

Local geohashers

None?

Past expeditions

None we know of. However, there probably have been expeditions to the Uppsala graticule, see there.
