That point is in the sea off the coast of South Africa,
about 17 miles west of the center of Capetown.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.

Lines of latitude are imaginery lines that run around the earth parallel to the equator and tell you how many degrees north or south of the equator you are. The equator being zero degrees, the North Pole being 90 degrees North Latitude, the South Pole being 90 degrees South Latitude. Lines of longitude are imaginery lines that run from the north pole to the south pole and tell you how many degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian you are. The Prime Meridian is based on Greenwich, England. An easy way to rember is that the latitude lines are like the steps on a ladder, and the longitude lines are very long.
south pole
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
The longitude of the South Pole is 0 Degrees west. The latitude of the South Pole is 90 Degrees south.
Latitude: 38 degrees South Longitude:145 degrees East
The latitude of that point is 30 degrees south, and its longitude is 90 degrees east.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
