Cape Crillon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cape Crillon (Russian: Мыс Крильон, 45°54′N 142°05′E / 45.9°N 142.083°E) is the southernmost point of Sakhalin. The cape was named by Frenchman Jean-François de La Pérouse, who was the first European to discover it. Cape Sōya, in Japan, is located 43km to the south, across La Pérouse Strait.
A Russian weather station, a lighthouse and a military base are all situated at Cape Crillon today.
