Muon, you sure have a knack for digging up old travel-related threads. Smiley  Now that you've drawn my attention to this again, I realize I have 3 new extremes, including one place that's an extreme in 2 directions:

                                          65.283°N: Egilsstaðir, Iceland

159.779°W: Kekaha, Kaua'i, Hawai'i                            174.740°E: Auckland, New Zealand

                                     36.841°S: Auckland, New Zealand

                                          65.283°N: Egilsstaðir, Iceland

159.779°W: Kekaha, Kaua'i, Hawai'i                            175.767°E: Matamata, New Zealand

                                     45.667°S: Mossburn, New Zealand


(Te Anau is the closest air infrastructure to Mossburn.)

As long as we're nerding out on this, here's my United States-only.

                                          48.604°N: International Falls, Minnesota

159.779°W: Kekaha, Kaua'i, Hawai'i                            68.202°E: Bar Harbor, Maine

                                           19.216°N: Pahala, Hawai'i, Hawai'i




And my CONUS-only. It's always funny to me to be on the Navy base in Key West and look north at the tourists clamoring for a photo at the "southernmost" monument. Cool

                                    48.604°N: International Falls, Minnesota

124.414°W: south of Forks, Washington                           68.202°E: Bar Harbor, Maine

                                 24.545°N: Truman Annex, Key West, Florida

Clearly we need a meet up in AK someday so we can both fill that in. Smiley

At least we should get you to a Canadian crossing somewhere along the 49th parallel. Of the four I've done, I recommend the International Peace Garden, since you don't even need to pass through Canadian customs to visit both sides of the border at that point.

I'm ready for Alaska! Cool

I've crossed at Niagara Falls a few times but never a land crossing out west; the rest of my visits to Canada have been by plane. The International Peace Garden has been on my list for a while, but even though I've been to North Dakota twice, I've never made it up to the border there -- it's just so far from anything else! I even looked at flying to International Peace Garden Airport, but it doesn't have any commercial service. Sad
