N: Tromsø, Norway
S: Cancha Carrera border crossing, Argentina-Chile
E: Sharm El-Sheik, Egypt
W: Campeche, Mexico, or Mexico City if we are counting walking through an airport to change planes.
Need to do some more eastward travelling…
I remember replying to this in 2011, and looking back, I managed to get 3 of my cardinal directions wrong.
East, I said Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, when I should have said New Zealand.
West I said Bagan, Myanmar when I should have said Fiji.
South I said Punta Arenas, Chile, when it is actually Ushuaia, Argentina.
The only one I got right was North being Helsinki.
You went to Calumet but didn’t continue to Copper harbor? You missed some great scenery.
For me:
N: Just over the Border on the White Pass Railway north of Skagway
S: Falmouth Jamaica
E: Rodanthe (Outer Banks), NC
W: Somewhere on the inner passage cruise from Seattle to Juneau/Skagway/Victoria
lowest elevation: probably about -20’ (just past Stovepipe Wells – Death Valley – definitely went below sea level)
highest elevation (while on the ground) probably Pikes Peak (14,115’)

North - About 10 miles north of Carcross, Yukon, Canada.
South and West - Dunedin, New Zealand.
East - Chicago, Illinois.
Elevatio:
High – 4,654 m, 15,260 ft Los Cumbres, LaPaz Bolivia
4,556 m, 14,947 ft, Chungara Lake Chile. Access road higher, but unknown
Low – Shore of Dead Sea, Jordan, 430 m, 1,412 ft below SL
Diff: 16,672 feet
North would be Glasgow, Scotland.
South would be Invercargill, New Zealand
Westward travel total would be Austria - 194° from start in New Zealand
Eastward travel would be Cabo, Mexico
N - Hamburg
E - Vienna
W - Probably Fort Bragg, CA. I’ve also been to Arena Point, which falsely claims to the westernmost extreme within the contiguous US, but is a degree or two east of Fort Bragg
S - Puerto Vallarta
South and East: Nassau, Bahamas, or thereabouts. Perhaps a little farther out, because I was on a cruise ship.
West: The Santa Monica Pier; Santa Monica, California.
North: Delaware.
Only counting where I’ve been on land:
North: Oulu, Finland
South: Dangriga, Belize
East: Tel Aviv, Israel
West: Xi’an, China
North: Rovaniemi, in Finland (66°30’ or thereabouts latitude North).
South: Bluff, in New Zealand (46°36’ or thereabouts latitude South).
East: Rotorua, in New Zealand (176°15’ or thereabouts longitude East)
West: Bangor Base, Washington State, USA (122°42’ or thereabouts longitude West)
Eastmost for me is the Tower of London. A couple miles further east and it would have been difficult since it would be across the Prime Meridian.
North: Honeybourne rail station in England, north of the Cotswolds. Also a few miles south of Stratford Upon Avon but I didn’t go in that direction.
South: The Southmost Mile buoy in Key West.
West: Somewhere on the west coast of Oregon, but we visited plenty of places on the coast and I can’t remember each one by name to remember which one I’ve been to. It may actually be Tunnel Beach unless I made it to Cape Meares.
Neither are not even close to being the western most point. It is Cape Alava in Washington. There is a marker there placed by the USGS.
Man, I really haven’t been anywhere.
North: York, UK
South: Miami, FL, U.S.A.
East: Golan Heights, Israel (disputed)
West: Seattle, WA, U.S.A.
North: 63 deg Reykjavik
South: 67 deg Comodoro Rividavia (argentina)

West : 123 deg Vancouver
Working on some business trips to get up to hammerfest N , Ancorage W Sakhalin E and maybe a personal trip to Ushuaia and then Antartica.
Correction:

Do you like it there, or are you trapped in a maniac’s cellar? One thump on the ceiling for “yes,” two for “no.”

My east and west overlap…
