Crillon Peninsula and Cape Crillon (most southern)

Cape Crillon (Template:Lang-ru, Template:Lang-ja "Nishinotoro-misaki" (Cape Nishinotoro in Japanese), 45°54′N 142°05′E / 45.900°N 142.083°E / 45.900; 142.083) 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 43 km to the south, across La Pérouse Strait.

A Russian weather station, a lighthouse and a military base are all situated at Cape Crillon today.
