Cape South
southernmost point of Kalimantan, Indonesia
Cape South (Indonesian: Tanjung Selatan) is a coastal headland located on the southern tip of Kalimantan. It marks part of the southern coastline of South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Geography
Tanjung Selatan is a cape south of Tanjung Burung on the southern shore of Borneo. The shore between Tanjung Burung and Tanjung Selatan extends for about 37.5 miles (60.4 km) and is set thick with tall trees. This part of the shore is crossed by several small and shallow rivers. Nearby off the northwest shore from Tanjung Selatan is Pulau Datu some 7 miles north. Pulau Datu is a stony wooded islet rising some 30.5 metres (100 ft) above tree top level with a tomb on top. Shoal grounds, as shown by the 5.5 metre contour depth, lie offshore between 3.5 and 8 miles from land and are hazards to navigation. Pinting Belajang, a drying rock, islocated outside this patch of shallow water some 13.25 miles north of Tanjung Selatan. Apart from that, there is also a patch of depth 8.7 metre and about 7.5 miles northwest of Pinting Belajang.

Why this record matters
“Cape South” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Cape, South and southernmost provides the most credible route into that argument.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
