So, we might need to check the latitude of origin too.

Exactly! That points to a projection error.

True, but if it's UTM Zone 15S, why is it near the North Pole?

But what about the false northing? Shouldn't it be 0? That's B.

I think the "S" is confusing. It should indicate south, right?

Isn't the latitude of origin supposed to be around -80 degrees for that area?

The "S" actually means south of the equator, not UTM Row S.

I feel like the units being in feet instead of meters could be a common mistake, but I thought UTM always used meters.

I practiced a similar question where the latitude of origin was crucial, but I can't recall the specifics about the UTM zones.

I think the false northing value is usually set to 0 for northern zones, but I'm not entirely sure if that applies here.

I remember that UTM zones are divided into northern and southern hemispheres, so the "S" might be causing confusion.
