Your Geographic Extremes

**Allenson** · 08-13-2009, 05:54 PM

So, what are the geographic extremes that you have traveled to? And by this I mean, latitude & longitude/cardinal directions relative to your location....

So, using myself as example, the furthest south that I've ever been is St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands with a rough latitude of 18 degrees north (I've never been south of the equator).

The furthest west that I've been would be Cape Mendocino on northern California's 'Lost Coast' at a rough longitude of 125 degrees west. An absolutely stunning location:

The furthest east that I've been would be Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Italian Alps at just a hair over 12 degrees east longitude (skiing!):

And lastly, the furthest north that I've ventured is an area known as 'The Aird' at the very northern tip of the Isle of Skye, Scotland, lying at roughly 57.75 degrees north latitude:

So, let's hear about & see some more!

Furthest North - Somewhere in Canada. I was very little and I don't remember where exactly.

Furthest South - Cancun, Mexico.

Furthest East - Prague, Czech Republic.

Furthest West - Michigan, I think.

I don't know the latitude longitude, but you know where these places are.

I believe that honor goes to Cape Alava in Washington State. Cape Mendocino is the furthest west one can go in California.

But anwyays, not to be persnickety.
