Isandlwana (Zulu pronunciation: [ísanˈdɮwáːna])^[2] (older spelling Isandhlwana, also sometimes seen as Isandula) is an isolated hill in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. It is located 169 kilometres (105 mi) north by northwest of Durban.^[3] The name is said to mean abomasum, the second stomach of the cow, because it reminded the Zulus of its shape.
