The challenge was fixed so it's text fits saturdays meta riddle.

This was the original text:

The new text now reads "Beyond still water you’ll find 13 building blocks..."

So, where does still water run ? Deep, right. So , what could stella mean ? If you continue the thought, where do you land ? 

Right, at the point at the opposite side of the earth through the middle. That is what i think is meant by the hint.

The solution is to use the number-pairs as decimal degrees and to multiply each number with -1.

The resulting locations show letters if you zoom into them in Google Maps.

Example for first pair:

 

If you check out all locations (no, i'm not going to do that for you here, i'm also a bit lazy ;-)), you end up with the solution.

PS: In case you noticed that multiplying by -1 is merely inverting a two-dimensional vector, and does not result in a point on the other side of the earth - you're right.
