Equator Monument

[1] The monument was built along the Kapuas River, but then moved to the more strategic current location along the Tanjungpura Road.

[2] The monument consists of four ironwood poles, each with a diameter of about 0,30 metres, with frontage bollard height is two pieces as high as 3,05 radian place backside bollard and the signpost dart as high as 4,40 metres.

[3] Land masses are affected by plate tectonics, and Earth's equator itself moves due to the precession of the equinoxes and nutation.

The equator has moved slightly southwards and there is another line outside the monument, that shows the recorded position in 2005.

The position of the equator in 2010 is even further south and now is in a river[citation needed], as a GPS device can confirm.
