Just had a little update from my source Kronos based on the new Kristin spoiler about the Dharma station in Australia.
Here is what they said when we were discussing this. Here is a link to the Wiki entry on The 45 Parallel.
Yea, that's definitely not the only one we see. There's one up near Portland, Oregon, they are saying it's located on something called the 45th parallel. They aren't going to Oregon and it's just a set."

Interesting....looks like it goes through Ontario Canada also....which is where our buddy Ethan Rom, claimed he was from during Hugo's census...
Mesa liken this!!!!
Those of you who called Portland, well done! Based on this news from Kronos(and hopefully w/out sounding silly) another possibility that I haven't seen yet is Tallahassee. I don't know of any geologic entity or anything else mystical about the area (i'm from Georgia, US), but Anthony Cooper stated at the Black Rock that one minute he was driving down the interstate in fla. and the next he was on the island. Uluru, Portland, and Tunisia also seem to share this similarity eg. Flight 815, Goodspeed and Ben in Portland, and Yemi in the Beechcraft.
Just speculation of course, so pick away.
I guess there's no evidence of horace and ben transporting from portland, but isn't that where Juliet and Ethan left from on there way to the island?
Isn't Ben from around there?
yes, thats also where Mittleos Bioscience HQ is.
Why would a DHARMA station be around Mittelos's location? That's the company run by the Others (and judging by Locke's flashbacks in Cabin Fever, Mittelos was trying to "recruit" Locke right around the time that DHARMA started; that makes it seem like the Others have always had possession of Mittelos).
I'm with webbsta on this one. The station on the 45th parallel is a Canada station, not Portland.
Interesting that Minnesota is also located on the 45th Parallel (Henry Gale?).
I have no doubt that Canada is a location for one of the stations; lets not forget Bonnie & Greta who were supposed to be in Canada according to Mikhail; why the pretense of "Canada" if there isn't a DHARMA Communication Station there? Also, Oregon is on the 45th Parallel as well according to the map; perhaps the DHARMA Station isn't Mittelos Labs, but we did see Horace driving towards Portland; perhaps he was driving to the DHARMA Station when he ran into Roger, Emily & Baby Ben.
This was said in a comment in an earlier spoiler, but it is quite possible that Hurley is in "jail" because he's manning a DHARMA Station located in LA (I believe the shoot was supposed to mimic LA).
Has anything been said that there may be 8 stations around the world? I have to read back through the spoilers, I have a hunch.
Portland is actually about 45 miles north of the 45th parallel. Salem is actually the closest city. I remember, because there's a sign on I-5 that says, "Welcome to the 45th parallel, halfway between the north pole and the equator!" just outside of Salem.
But close enough I suppose! Especially since Alpert says Mittelos is "outside Portland."
A lot of you keep mentioning Canada and how Mikhail, Ethan and others have made reference to it. Darlton basically stated a while back that Canada was always used during the show to indicate someone was lying. It's a sort of red herring. So don't count on a Canadian Dharma station.
@ LOSTINNJ --
Henry Gale was from Wayzata, which is on the 45th parallel.
A line from the point at the 45th parallel in Oregon through the center of the earth would emerge in the Indian Ocean, 982 miles southwest of Perth, Austriaila.
I used to work at a restaurant that burnt down that was 0.9 miles south of the 45th parallel in Rouses Point, NY. Maybe the basement of that restaurant is a Dharma Station haha.
Its burnt down twice, once in 1989 and once in 2007, maybe its some Dharma paradox that blows fire out when things happen on the island.
I think it makes more sense that it is probably the 42nd parallel. then all the numbers will make sense. 4,8,15,16,23, and 42 will all be parellels where the dharma stations are located. 6 numbers, 6 stations, oceanic 6. seems to all fit.
I hope there is one in Talahassee
That's a great thought MPBirding. You got me thinking and I looked up Portland's coordinates. TPTB seem to be right, though. It is on the 45th parallel.
Portland, Oregon
latitude: 45° 31' 24"
longitude: -122° 40' 34"
Ayers Rock, Australia
latitude: -25° 19' 59"
longitude:131° 0' 0"
I don't see much significance with the coordinates, really. Anyone else?
wheres my atlas?
MPBirding...that is a totally cool thought and would really help give the numbers a logical explanation. I'm liking it!!
I live in Salem, Oregon which is where the 45th parallel is located. I am bummed that they are not filming here but none the less I am excited to see that Oregon is involved....YEA!!
Yeah, they film EVERYTHING in california and hawaii.
The only thing they didn't was the Widmore scenes because he was doing spamalot.
I'm surprised DARK hasn't chimed in yet but I really think that you guys with your globes and atlases are on to something here. Great idea I think it holds possibility
