Line across the Earth

80°

80th parallel south

The 80th parallel south is a circle of latitude that is 80 degrees south of the Earth's equatorial plane, and 10 degrees (690 miles/1100 kilometers) north of the United States Amundsen Scott South Pole Station. Regions south of this latitude are excluded from UTM zones.

This line of latitude passes only through Antarctica and Antarctic ice shelves.
