The Prime Meridian runs through the Atlantic Ocean, intersecting both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It also passes through parts of Europe and Africa, specifically the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali, and Ghana.

No, the Greenwich Meridian is a prime meridian line that runs through Greenwich, London. It is used as the reference point for the measurement of longitudes. It is not located in the ocean, but on land.
I think most folks would accept the North American continent as a good answer to that question, even though a little piece of Alaska's Aleutian Islands does tail off across the 180 meridian and into the eastern Hemisphere.

The Prime Meridian, which is the line of 0 degrees longitude, runs through Greenwich, London, England. It is used as the starting point for measuring longitude and dividing the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

The southernmost land crossed by the Prime Meridian is the Antarctic continent, but there are no countries there. The southernmost country on the Prime Meridian is Ghana.
Africa is the only continent that has land in all four hemispheres—Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western. The Prime Meridian and the Equator intersect in Africa, dividing the continent into these hemispheres.
No, the Greenwich Meridian is a prime meridian line that runs through Greenwich, London. It is used as the reference point for the measurement of longitudes. It is not located in the ocean, but on land.
Prime Meridian
Where the Equator and the Greenwich meridian intersect. This point of intersection is not on land, it is in the Atlantic Ocean in the gulf of Guinea.
Africa is the only continent that is situated in all four hemispheres: Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western hemispheres. The Prime Meridian and Equator intersect in Africa, dividing the continent into four sections, each in a different hemisphere.

The Prime Meridian crosses parts of England, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali,Burkina Faso, Togo, and Ghana. You can't get any nearer than that.
