48th parallel north

The 48th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 48 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Europe, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America, and the Atlantic Ocean.

The Boston Beer Company brews an India Pale Ale called Latitude 48 as much of the Northern Hemisphere's hops are grown in a belt at approximately this latitude.^[1]

In Canada the parallel forms part of the border between Quebec and New Brunswick.

Ships heading north along the coast of Washington toward the Strait of Juan de Fuca must make radio contact with Canadian Coast Guard vessel traffic service upon crossing the 48th parallel.

At this latitude the sun is visible for 16 hours, 3 minutes during the summer solstice and 8 hours, 22 minutes during the winter solstice.^[2]
