On the island of New Guinea, the meridian defines part of the land border between Indonesia on the west and Papua New Guinea on the east. The Fly River forms the border where it flows west of the 141st meridian. South of the Fly, the border runs slightly to the east of, and parallel to, the meridian (see Indonesia–Papua New Guinea relations). In Australia it forms the eastern boundary of the state of South Australia, bordering Queensland and New South Wales. The border between South Australia and Victoria was originally proclaimed to be exactly on the 141st meridian, but measurement errors resulted in the present border being about 3.6 km west of this line at 140°57'45" (see South Australia–Victoria border dispute). From Pole to Pole Starting at the North Pole and heading south to the South Pole, the 141st meridian east passes through: Co-ordinates Country, territory or sea Notes 90°0′N 141°0′E Arctic Ocean 76°1′N 141°0′E Russia Bunge Land, New Siberian Islands 74°54′N 141°0′E East Siberian Sea Sannikov Strait 74°15′N 141°0′E Russia Little Lyakhovsky Island, New Siberian Islands 73°59′N 141°0′E East Siberian Sea Sannikov Strait 73°47′N 141°0′E Russia Great Lyakhovsky Island, New Siberian Islands 73°23′N 141°0′E East Siberian Sea Laptev Strait 72°52′N 141°0′E Russia 72°42′N 141°0′E Laptev Sea 72°33′N 141°0′E Russia 58°25′N 141°0′E Sea of Okhotsk 53°24′N 141°0′E Russia 51°40′N 141°0′E Strait of Tartary Passing just west of Moneron Island, Russia (at 46°13′N 141°11′E) 45°26′N 141°0′E Japan Rebun Island 45°21′N 141°0′E Sea of Japan 43°14′N 141°0′E Japan Island of Hokkaidō 42°18′N 141°0′E Pacific Ocean Uchiura Bay 41°54′N 141°0′E Japan Island of Hokkaidō — Oshima Peninsula 41°43′N 141°0′E Tsugaru Strait 41°29′N 141°0′E Japan Island of Honshū — Shimokita Peninsula 41°11′N 141°0′E Mutsu Bay 40°56′N 141°0′E Japan Island of Honshū 38°14′N 141°0′E Pacific Ocean Sendai Bay 37°46′N 141°0′E Japan Island of Honshū 37°6′N 141°0′E Pacific Ocean Passing just east of the island of Nishinoshima, Japan (at 27°15′N 140°54′E) 2°36′S 141°0′E Indonesia / Papua New Guinea border 6°19′S 141°0′E Papua New Guinea The border diverts west to follow the Fly River 6°53′S 141°0′E Indonesia The border with Papua New Guinea runs parallel to the meridian, about 2 km to the east 9°7′S 141°0′E Arafura Sea 11°2′S 141°0′E Gulf of Carpentaria 16°57′S 141°0′E Australia Queensland South Australia / Queensland border — from 26°0′S 141°0′E South Australia / New South Wales border — from 29°0′S 141°0′E Victoria — from 34°1′S 141°0′E, the border with South Australia runs parallel to the meridian, about 3 km to the west (see above) 38°4′S 141°0′E Indian Ocean Australian authorities consider this to be part of the Southern Ocean[1][2] 60°0′S 141°0′E Southern Ocean 66°46′S 141°0′E Antarctica Adélie Land, claimed by France The 141st meridian east of Greenwich is a line of longitude that extends from the North Pole across the Arctic Ocean, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, Australasia, the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and Antarctica to the South Pole.
