You're standing at a survey point of the Struve Geodetic Arc, here in Jēkabpils. At first glance there isn't much to see. Yet this little spot is part of one of Europe's strangest World Heritage Sites: a measuring line more than 2,800 kilometres long, from Hammerfest in northern Norway all the way to the Black Sea.
