                                     34.638°S: La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Inching further and further west:

                                             54.650°N: Donegal, Ireland
158.102°W: Haleiwa, Oahu, Hawaii                            140.317°E: Narita, Chiba, Japan

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

Madrid is almost as far north as Chicago, and the Pyrenees are further north than Chicago. If you drove about two and half hours north from Madrid you'd be at about the same latitude as Chicago.

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 am well aware of that, but I included both due to whether you want to count PR in this discussion for US extremes.

Northernmost: Seattle, Washington (been to the temple)
Southernmost: Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mexico
Easternmost: Boston, Massachusetts (been to the temple)
Westernmost: Portland, Oregon (been to the temple)

Fun fact: I’ve only spent about a week and a half out of the country my entire life. That how patriotic I am.

Did you fly (or drive from the east) separately to Seattle and Portland or did you by any chance take I-5 between them? If you drove between them you've been farther west than Portland, by about the same amount that Portland is west of Seattle.

Got it. I was confused by the statement that you didn't know the exact furthest south. In that case I imagine you'd go with Fajardo for southernmost if PR counts, since it is south of any point on the north coast of PR.

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

Playa del Carmen is actually a teeny bit further west than Indianapolis.

For me it's:

Northernmost - Rochester, Minnesota
Southernmost - St. Petersburg, Florida
Westernmost - Des Moines, Iowa
Easternmost - Orlando, Florida

I know, a little pathetic on the northern and western fronts.
