South West Cape, New Zealand
- South West Cape, New Zealand
South West Cape, located at coord|47|17|24|S|167|32|16|E|, is a cape on the south coast of Stewart Island, New Zealand. It is the southernmost point on the island, and as such is almost the southernmost point on the main chain of islands that make up New Zealand, beaten to that honour by the tiny Murphy Island, which lies some three kilometres to the west and some 100 m further south.
This is still not the southernmost point in the country, however — that title goes to Jacquemart Island in the sub-antarctic Campbell Island group.
