Find the location of the flag in the image: image.jpg. Note: Latitude and longitude values are in degrees with no degree symbols,/direction letters, minutes, seconds, or periods. They should only be digits. The flag is not just a set of coordinates - if you think that, keep looking!
How can images store location data? Perhaps search for GPS info on photos.
It was also easy challenge for. Have you ever heard about exiftools? If not then google about it buddy. we got 1 image file

Lets see their is one flag in comment:-
Comment: "Your flag is flag_2_meta_4_me_<lat>_<lon>_978a. Now find the GPS coordinates of this image! (Degrees only please)"
But it's not the complete flag we need the Latitude and Longitude cordinates. See in the same output their you will see
GPS Latitude : 70 deg 0' 0.00"
GPS Longitude : 73 deg 0' 0.00"
so the Latitude is:7 and Longitude is:73
I think we got the flag
flag_2_meta_4_me_7_73_978a
