Cape Santiago () is the southwestern point of the island of Luzon located within the municipality of Calatagan in Batangas, Philippines. It is a cape at the southern tip of Santiago Peninsula which faces the South China Sea to the west and Pagapas Bay, an arm of Balayan Bay, to the east. The cape has been the site of a navigational aid since the 1890s. ==Geography== Cape Santiago is located about southeast of the Port of Calatagan where ferries bound for Lubang Island operate. It is 91 to 116 meters high, wooded, and fringed by a drying reef extending offshore.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Philippine Islands Sailing Direction, Section 3 )〕 There are depths of 7 to 9 meters at the edge of the reef, increasing steeply to more than 91 meters about offshore.〔 A dangerous coral rock lies southeast of the cape in the Verde Island Passage known as Minerva Rock, named for the Australian ship that struck on it in 1834.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Military notes on the Philippines: September 1898 )〕 A lighthouse marks a low rocky promontory about west-northwest of the south extremity of the cape. A conspicuous windmill stands about 0.4 mile east-southeast of the lighthouse.〔 Cape Santiago is located about 130 kilometers southwest of Manila. It is administratively part of the barangay of Bagong Silang. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cape Santiago」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
