That ship sailed, both east and west, a long time ago
I was wrong: the farthest north I’ve been is Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Quebec, 47°01′N. Let me have a do-over:
Farthest north: Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Quebec, 47°01′N
Farthest south: Shah Alam, Malaysia 03°04′ N
Farthest east: Narita Airport, Japan 140°23′E
Farthest west: Pacifica, California 122°30′W
North: Finstown, Orkney 59.007°N
South and East: Point Au Sel, Seychelles 4.733°S, 55.527°E
West: Fuerteventura 14.0°W
North: Nordkapp, Norway (71.17° N)- the northernmost place on the European continent.
South: Miami, Florida (25.76° N).
East: the eastern edge of the Golan Heights, Israel (35.75°E).
West: Seattle, Washington (122.33° W).
Only if that’s the only place you’ve ever been. If you’ve ever been anywhere else at all, then that other place would be further east or west. Greenwich is the least east or west you can get, not the most.
Glacier National Park.
There must be two dividing lines between east and west. The usual standard is that one of them runs through England, and the other through the Pacific.
Which is why nobody at all says that.
Oh, and
I’m not sure what I was thinking, saying Maine. Obviously Ireland was my furthest east, too (though probably a slightly different spot in Ireland-- Maybe somewhere on the M8?).
Now that I’ve checked, it seems that the bit we went to was west of Malaig.
I was looking at the wrong bit (the bit that is east of Malaig !) .. but we would have gone on the ferry from Malaig to Armadale on Skye. We didn’t go far
into Skye, just hung around the beach area next to the ferry port !
So.. the furthest north and west I’ve been is Armadale on Skye.
North: Moscow, Russia (55.75° N).
South: Ushuaia, Argentina (54.80° s).
East: Tokyo, Japan (139.65°E).
West: Honolulu, Hawaii (157.92° W).
Is there maybe any interest in continuing this in a side topic? Where do East & West start and end, anyway? (Prime Meridian, antimeridian, and the International Date Line)
North: Little Gold Creek, Yukon (on the Alaska border)
South: Cochabamba Bolivia
East: Tokyo, Japan
West: Vancouver Island, BC
North: Eagle River, AK
South: Honolulu
West: Honolulu
East: Washington DC
I’m not entirely sure about North. I was 13 the first time I went to Eagle River, and my family stayed with my aunt and uncle for two weeks. At one point, we took a two-day trip to do some fishing, several hours away from Eagle River. I’m pretty sure we went north to get there, but my memory is pretty hazy.
North: Anchorage: 61° N
South: Melbourne: 38° S
East: Sydney: 151° E

North: Stykkishólmur, Iceland - 65°
South: Te Anau, NZ - 45°
East: Rotorua, NZ - 176°
West: Eureka, CA - 124°
Waterton Lakes National Park.
I don’t like saying that 180 is both my farthest west and my farthest east. That makes it sound like I’ve gone all the way around the world, and ignores the gap between the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Thailand where I’ve never traveled.
North: Bellingham, WA
South: US-Mexico border, San Diego, CA
West: Astoria, OR
East: Cleveland, OH
Thank you. I don’t know why I couldn’t be bothered to look it up, given the amount of time wasted trying to figure out which National Park is furthest west of the ones in Southern Utah (plus the Grand Canyon), wasted especially because I later remembered having been to California.
North: Arbroath, Scotland – 56.561 degrees north
South: Aruba – 12.5 degrees North
East: Naples, Italy – 14 degrees East. Actually, Mt. Vesuvius at 14.25 degrees east and Pompeii at 14.29 degrees East
West: Seattle, WA 122 degrees West or San Francisco CA at 122.24 West.
I really haven’t traveled as much as I’d like to.
