In the UTM system, the equator is used as the origin for easting and northing values. As a result, locations in the southern hemisphere will have negative northing values. To ensure that UTM measurements of the southern hemisphere have a positive value, a false northing value is added to all coordinates in the southern hemisphere. This false northing value is typically equal to 10,000,000 meters, so that all southern hemisphere UTM grid coordinates have a value between 0 and 10,000,000 meters.
