20th meridian east

The 20th meridian east forms a great circle with the 160th meridian west.

Part of Namibia's borders with Botswana and South Africa are defined by the meridian.[1] The boundary between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean is defined by the meridian.[2] The meridian defines the eastern limit of the New Swabia area in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica.
