Azores is quite a bit south of this cable from what is shown in the picture.
- ciceryadam 3y agoNot really south, it's just a bit north: Ponta Delgada - Latitude: 37.7333 Longitude: -25.6667. Lisbon - Latitude 38.71667 Longitude -9.13333. It is the exclusive economic zones of Portugal that are in the path of the cable: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusive_economic_zone_of_Portugal#/media/File%3APortugal_EEZ.PNG https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusive_economic_zone_of_P...

However this site shows the cable travelling south of the Azores: * https://www.fiberatlantic.com/system/n5OE4 https://www.fiberatlantic.com/system/n5OE4
