gobbledonk Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi All, KS, if you want to move this to Bored Bar, fair enough, but it loosely fits in Travel I havent been to many places compared to most board members, particularly in an East-West direction, but I'll be happy if I never get this close to the Antarctic again. For those of you who live in places like Finland, you are most welcome to it. South: 43°31�48�S 172°37�13�E North: 25°16�14�N 110°17�31�E By April, the mean temperature difference between these two is about 30 deg C Cheers, Gobble FWIW, Bangkok is at 13°45�8�N 100°29�38�E. As I said, I havent ventured far in an East-West direction - just seem to go up and down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 38°33'58.06"S 145°21'12.95"E is as far south I've been. 58°46'52.14"N 94°11'10.73"W is the farthest north. Unless you count 61°12'59.70"N 149°53'58.55"W, but that was just an unscheduled three hour stop on a trans-Pacific flight and we never left the airport (so I don't count it). Not all that impressive. But I've been around the world more than a few times... Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLeakHunt Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Don't know the L&L for these places but I've been inside the arctic circle and the furthers south is either Sillypore or KL. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 SD, you must have more frequent flyer miles than our PM, Kevin '747' Rudd I remember you telling me that you like Melbourne, so the South one wasnt too tough, and I'll take a wild guess that you've been to Canada at some stage. Seeing the footage of frozen sandbags holding back that icy river in Fargo reminded me just how badly I need to live in a warm climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 SL, Singapore is almost on the equator - 1 deg N, 103 deg E. The 'Arctic Circle' is a big place, so thats a bit tougher :content: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ya, if you don't feel like plugging the the coordinates into Google Earth, furthest south was Woolamai (Phillip Island); north was Churchill (ex-wife wanted to see polar bears -- so did I -- so we went for five days). The exception was Anchorage. Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Munchmaster Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 North would be Lerwick, Shetland 60°09N and South would be Sao Paulo 23°32S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 hmm not sure traveling (lots) places is impressive, but I do tend to enjoy it especially now that I haven't left LOS for more than 90days meaning I'm one of those 'stuck' with the 90day reports anyway southernmost I made it so far must be Wellington, NZ while north must be some place near Trondheim, NO not so far north of the polar circle... Could be interesting to make it all the way further up to the top of Norway & Europe at 'Nordkapp' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Walked up into "Arctic Circle" down into Sweden. (In Summer) Furthermost North would be Somewhere North of Tromso and then I walked down into Sweden. Furthermost South would be Invercragil - New Zealand - No idea latitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
