wget and &

Hi,
I'm trying to I'm trying to use wget to grab some data from the IRIS webservice. Basically its a web page that given the latitude and longitude for two points on the earth returns the distance and azimuth between them.
Its usage is simple you just input an address as follows,
http://www.iris.edu/ws/distaz/query?stalat=0.0&stalon=0.0&evtlat=15.0&evtlon=0.0
and it opens a page containing the data in XML.
I have tried,
Code:
wget http://www.iris.edu/ws/distaz/query?stalat=0.0&stalon=0.0&evtlat=15.0&evtlon=15.0

but get a bad request error which I think comes from the use of the ampersands in the address. Anyone know how I could do this??
Thanks
D

The following options are supported: -x Use XML format conventions. -s text Insert text at the start of the output. -e text Insert text at the end of the output. -b base URL base -c configfile Read @chapter lines from configfile (lines must be of the form "@chapter filename") and extract elements from each of those files. -h, -? Print command usage. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: element-or-class The name of an element to extract (e.g., "H2"), or the name of a class preceded by "." (e.g., ".example") or a combination of both (e.g., "H2.example"). file-or-URL A file name or a URL. To read from standard input, use "-". ENVIRONMENT
To use a proxy to retrieve remote files, set the environment variables http_proxy and ftp_proxy. E.g., http_proxy="http://localhost:8080/" BUGS
