Equator Monument Kalimantan
From Java, let's jump to Borneo. In West Kalimantan, precisely the City of Pontianak, there is one tourist spot that is very often visited by tourists, especially on weekends, namely the Equator Monument. The monument, located right on the Equator Road, was built as a zero degree latitude marker. Every March 21-23 and September 21-23, the Equator Monument will be the location of the Sun's culmination day.
The culmination point is the point when the sun's position is just above the equator. When this event takes place, the shadow of the object will disappear for a few seconds. This event is always an interesting entertainment for residents and tourists who happen to visit on that day. Another interesting thing that you can get after visiting this monument is a proof of the crossing of the equator. In the charter, the name and time when visitors cross the equator will be listed.
