List of countries by southernmost point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of countries by southernmost point on land. Where borders are contested, the southernmost point under the control of a nation is listed, excluding points within Antarctica and its outlying islands south of 60°S (claims to which are held in abeyance under the terms of the Antarctic Treaty). A selection of dependent territories are listed in italics and are not ranked.
