I missed the part about longitude.
North: Grande Vallee, Quebec - 49° 13′ 34″ N latitude and 65° 7′ 30″ W longitude
South: Key West, Florida - 24°33′55″ N latitude and 81°46′33″ W longitude
East: Louisbourg, Nova Scotia - 45° 55′ 12″ N latitude and 59° 58′ 22″ W longitude
West: Kerrville, Texas - 30° 02’ 28" N latitude and 99° 08’ 16" W longitude
I cant seem to work ot latitude and longitude on my phone, through the Google maps app.
N - Edinburgh, Scotland
E - Flores, Indonesia
W - Lisbon, Portugal
S - Cape Agulhas, South Africa
On my Android phone w the Google Maps app, if I press and hold on a spot, the pop-up from the bottom translates the location into a street address if possible; if not, it displays a lat/long. In either case, the input box at the top of the map is filled with the lat/long of the spot I pressed.
I ran into the same issue. Googling presented two options:
Use the desktop version, and simply right-click on the location.
If using a mobile version, you have to drop a pin near the location you are interested in. Selecting the pin will give you the latitude and longitude.
North: Reykjavík, Iceland if standing in an airport for a couple of hours during refueling counts
West: whatever the westernmost part of our Alaskan cruise was. Also counts for north if the airport doesn’t count.
East: Kuwait City, Kuwait
South: Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
We also got a bit farther south than my southermost landing at Neko Island.
We went as far as an inlet at Petermann Island at -65.2 latitude. As usual we anchored then they sent a shore party out to reconnoiter. But once ashore the decided the waves and weather was too bad for us noobs. So they retreated back to the ship and we never debarked. So still about 1-1/2 degrees north of the Antarctic circle, but closer than my southernmost landfall.
I had a coworker from Oulu. His name was Tero. It still is, I imagine.
Okay, my farthest NSEW:
△ North = ▲ 68.805, 16.547 @ Harstad, Tromsø County, Norway
△ South = ▲ 5.0057, 119.7452 @ Tawi-Tawi, Philippines
△ East = ▲ 7.1307, 125.6449 @ DVO airport, Davao, Philippines
△ West = ▲ 64.507, -165.446 @ OME airport, Nome Alaska
I’d like to travel to south of the equator.
I went in 2015 I believe at the time there were a couple of cruises that crossed the Antarctic Circle each year at the end of the season when there was the least ice. My cruise wasn’t one, but we went further South than scheduled when overcast weather meant it would be too dark for the planned evening landinf so we went to the Lemaire Channel (Iceberg Alley) instead. Hence my 65 degree S.
North: Fairbanks, Alaska
East: Lyon, France
South: Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia
West: Honolulu, Hawaii
North: Stockholm, Sweden
South: Grenada, in the South Caribbean
West: San Francisco
East: Harbin, China
North: Reykjavik, Iceland (and our ship briefly crossed the arctic circle to get there)
South: Antarctica
East: Tokyo, Japan
West: Glacier Bay, Alaska
North: Nordkapp (North Cape) Norway. Our cruise ship went a bit north of its 71°10’21" enroute to our port stop.
East: Honningsvag, Norway - again, our ship went a bit east of the peninsula - so approx 26°23’
West: Vallejo, California - about 122°15’
South - Antarctic Peninsula - we got somewhere between 63° and 64° I think - also via cruise ship
Whoops - yes you are right of course. Correcting the record:
N Longyearbyen, Svalbard +78
S Jindabyne NSW -36
E Brisbane QLD +153
W Dillingham Airfield, HI -158
I would have assumed Guam was my furthest east - I was surprised to find that the east coast of Australia is further east. Just shows how our mental world map can be distorted.
The Pacific ocean is very very big. And lacks landmarks. Easy to lose track of what’s where.
Another perspective: by direction of travel, Hawaii (Diamond Head, Oahu) is actually my furthest east, with my furthest west being Muir Woods, California at -122.
For me:
Westernmost: San Francisco
Easternmost: Tokyo
Southernmost: Buenos Aires
Northernmost: St Petersburg
Note that the antipodal point of Buenos Aires is somewhere between Beijing and Shanghai, both of which I’ve also visited, so in this sense I like to think of myself as having circumnavigated the world (though not on one journey - but then again, isn’t my entire life, including the trips back home, one journey?)
West: Honolulu
South: Nassau, Bahamas
East: Paris
North: London, UK
North and West: Seattle
South: Puerto Vallarta
East: Munich
Munich is actually farther north than Seattle, if you can believe it.
Along this lines, I’ve read that the Pilgrims expected Massachusetts to have a climate similar to Spain, since they’re at about the same latitude. That’s one of the reasons they were woefully unprepared for the harsh Massachusetts winter.
