Circles of latitude between the 15th parallel south and the 20th parallel south

Following are '''circles of latitude between the 15th parallel south and the 20th parallel south''':

==16th parallel south== {{Location map-line|lat=-16}} {{kml}} The '''16th parallel south''' is a [[circle of latitude]] that is 16 [[degree (angle)|degrees]] [[south]] of the [[Earth|Earth's]] [[equator|equatorial plane]]. It crosses the [[Atlantic Ocean]], [[Africa]], the [[Indian Ocean]], [[Australasia]], the [[Pacific Ocean]] and [[South America]].

A section of the border between [[Mozambique]] and [[Zimbabwe]] is defined by the parallel.

===Around the world=== Starting at the [[Prime Meridian]] and heading eastwards, the parallel 16° south passes through:
