This morning we sailed across the latitude known as Tropic of Capricorn, off the east coast of Australia. Surrounded by silver dolphins and purple specks of islands on the horizon, it heralds the official turning of our backs on a southern hemisphere winter. We are heading north towards the Equator.
The Tropic of Capricorn, is one of the five major latitude (circles of latitude on maps of the Earth). It lies 23° 26′ 22″south of the Equator, and marks the most southerly latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead at noon.
