The 62nd parallel south is a circle of latitude that is 62 degrees south of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses the Southern Ocean and Antarctica.
At this latitude the sun is visible for 19 hours, 45 minutes during the December solstice and 5 hours, 09 minutes during the June solstice. [1]
Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 62° south passes through:
