The location given by the single coordinate is the line of latitude running around the circumference of the earth at 6° 10'31.30'' (6 degrees, 10 minutes and 31.3 seconds) south of the equator.

To fix your position to one place you need a Longitude east or west of Greenwich.

You have given only one coordinate (latitude), which does not denote a location. To indicate a location, you must also give a latitude.

Six degrees, ten minutes, and 31.3 seconds south latitude would be any point along a line parallel to the equator and that angle to the south of the equator. This line passes through central Ecuador, the north tip of Peru, and the Amazon river basin; thence across the south Atlantic Ocean to south central Africa, specifically Gabon, The Congo, and Kenya. Then across the Indian Ocean to Indonesia, to New Giunea, and on across the Pacific Ocean and back to Ecuador.

It would be an interesting ride. To see this for yourself, look at any map of the world or world globe.

Obviously this line does not pass anywhere near Antarctica. You read South latitude from the equator south, just as you read North latitude from the equator up toward the north pole.

Have a good trip.

That is not a single location. It describes a line of latitude, which crosses South America, Africa, and Australia.

anywhere 6 degrees south of the equator on those coordinates

we need a longitude to know where though

Hi. Antarctica. (90 - 6° 10'31.30''). Otherwise you need a second coordinate.
