Fiji 222
On this stamp, issued in 1966 by Fiji to
commemorate the 175th anniversary of the discovery of the island of
Rotuma by H.M.S. Pandora in 1791, the coordinates of 177°E 72°30´S
appear to the Northwest of the island of Rotuma. However, the location
indicated by the latitude is actually in the middle of the North-South
dimension of the island.
